I have seen Travis Harrison from 2009 and into summer 2010 and will pick up his coverage again soon. The thing you come in to see him for is the raw right-handed power.

Henry Owens is no secret. Nine months before the 2011 draft, his status as a first-round talent is probably his to lose. Here at Beginnings, we’ve already seen him more than most, dating back to the 2009 Area Codes, 2009 Fall Ball, 2010 High School, and 2010 summer season. He’s a lefty’s lefty, easy and free-spirited, and he’s got a few physical qualities and intangibles that are signs that he is potentially a long-term pro.

The radar gun is a crutch so I’m not going to waste my time with velocities in this story. I’ll see Henry Owens with plenty of guns on him in the coming months, but what he does as a pitcher is what will determine his fate in the coming years.

If the 2011 draft were today, it would boil down to this for UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole.
