Philip Evans should be one of the top prep middle infielders in the 2011 Draft. I had a look at him at Angels Elite in Fall 2009 and will have some more looks in the future. Here’s a brief look at what this player has going on.

I’ve had several looks at Rice outfielder Jeremy Rathjen playing for the Foresters, dating back to last season.

The next time we see Seth Rosin on this site, chances are it will be video of him pitching for the San Jose Giants in the California League. In the meantime, this is video of what got him there in the first place.

I had a very good look at University of Texas left-hander Sam Stafford recently, in an outing in which he pitched seven no-hit innings and showed Friday night stuff on a seriously hot Thursday.

The Tigers took some chances on some good high school players, but who knows if they’re going to sign them.

I didn’t hear too much about the Houston Astros draft, which immediately makes me believe that they scouted for themselves instead of letting the publications scout for them. What I see is a pretty solid group of players.

I’ve run across Ryon Healy, formerly of Crespi High, a few times on the trail: Area Codes, Fall Ball, high school, and now summer ball with wood again. He did not get drafted, and really, most teams don’t want to spend money for Division I college players that aren’t 10 minutes away from the big leagues. In Healy’s case, he one’s of an absolute ton of guys Oregon is getting from Southern California. And whenever I see him, I’m pretty much convinced that one of these years I’m going to see legit right-handed power. I can see the signs. For me, I don’t care if it’s not 10 minutes away. I know power production potential when I see it.

The first look I had at Austin Hedges was fall 2009 at Angels Elite, when at the time I thought he was one of the best looking young hitters on that team.

Aaron Westlake is one of those rare hitters that I like better with wood than I do with metal, which is to say, I know hitters when I see them. Have a look from Vanderbilt’s Los Angeles swing and we’ll break him down a bit.

Great story I love to tell about Leon Landry.
The first time I saw Landry, I didn’t see him. I heard him. I know a gunshot when I hear it. It was at Harwich in Summer 2009. Landry was fresh out of a car with his family. He was in the side cage out at that little field. And I heard the gunshot.
