First Rounder vs. First Rounder: Matt Hobgood vs. Jake Marisnick
By John Klima
April 25, 2009
First rounder vs. first rounder is a tradition here at Baseball Beginnings. The video here follows the report I filed live on April 23 when Marisnick and Riverside Poly visited Norco and Hobgood. To sum it up, Hobgood hit Marisnick on the forearm in the first at-bat. Marisnick struck out in his second at-bat against an above-average breaking ball, and then singled on a hanging breaking ball in the third at-bat.
You could jot your scouting notes down on the inside of a matchbook cover. Hobgood: above-average fastball and curveball, workhorse, should be mainstay on a contendor. Marisnick: above-average runner, thrower and fielder right now. Graceful athlete, a lot of potential in front of him.
