Dylan Covey continued to show the quantity and quality of stuff that separates him from a strong national crop of high school right-handed starting pitchers, but he wasn’t the only starting pitcher who helped himself Saturday at the Major League Scouting Bureau Southern California Invitational Showcase at the Urban Youth Academy.

You’ll have to head into Barstow to find one of Southern California’s best available high school right-handed starting pitching prospects for the 2010 MLB Draft. For professional scouts and teams, the drive will be worth it if they want to get Aaron Sanchez away from the University of Oregon. We’ve had plenty of good looks at Sanchez here at Baseball Beginnings, including this video.

Baseball Beginnings is pleased to unveil our first NATIONAL look at the June 2010 draft here in September, 2009, eight months before the first name is called.
In the scouting world, every quality player is on a follow list. It’s a good bet that most of these players are already on such lists, but it’s important to remember that things will change over the next eight months – no list, no matter this one or one by a team should be considered definitive at this time of year, but should instead be regarded as a road map.
Some players who are not on this list will be hot and others who were hot in summer and fall will lose some luster in spring. That’s why you won’t see rankings here, because Baseball Beginnings works like a major league team. We’re not ranking players right now. And when we do, we keep them in-house. The world is full of people who will rank players. A good scout NEVER tells.
Every single player on this list has been seen by our scouting staff IN PERSON, meaning we don’t take our information from secondary sources. It’s on us.

Bryce Harper, the made for TV prospect, went hitless. Anthony Wolters, an undersized shortstop who can run and play defense, showed he also will place himself in the running to be a top-round pick next June on Sunday night at the Aflac game at Petco Park in San Diego.

Twenty games, 153 innings and eight gazillion notes taken by eight gazillion scouts. The Area Code Games completed with several players doing a little bit of a lot of things. Baseball Beginnings never missed a pitch.
