11 333 Michael Spina R/R 3B Cincinnati Ohio
The first Senior out of University taken by the A’s, Mike Spina stands at 6′0
219, but after just two seasons at Cincy (after a JC stint), Spina looks
destined for great things.He hit .377 as a Junior, and was therefore drafted by
the Minnesota Twins in Round 45, after knocking 21 HR’s. That pick too low
for him, so he came back for his senior year, and boy did he deliver.
Hitting .342 in his final year as a Bearcat, Spina added to his HR total from
last year, and smashed 23 this year, on top of driving in 69 RBI. He still had
7 doubles, and held a team-high slugging percentage of .675. His OBP of .446
was second to just Lance Durham who batted .427 on the year.
Spina did have 15 errors, but what a bat.
44 HR’s in two seasons is unthought of in short-season baseball, but in
College, for Spina, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
There are two situations here, and I have a feeling as to which way it’ll go:
He signs and plays pro ball, or he gets a job.
What job is better than playing for the Oakland A’s?
These picks just keep on piling up, because so far, I’ve seen only a few I
disagree with, and this ain’t one of them.
12 363 Connor Hoehn R/R RHP St. Petersburg (Fla.) JC Fla.
After transferring from the University of Alabama last season, Connor Hoehn
pitched for St Petersburg College this season, and that’s about as much as I
can tell you.
He’s listed as an OF on his team’s site, but he’s really a big RHP.
He throws in the range of 89-93, but doesn’t have much of an off-speed arsenal
.
Off of the site for NJCAA, Hoewen pitched in 12 games, 39.2 innings, and had an
ERA of 2.72. He was 3-1 for St. Pete’s.
As a Sophomore, he has two more years of eligibility in College Baseball, but
after having some troubles at Alabama, albeit with not a lot of playing time,
going pro may be good for him.
It looks like he can pitch as well.
13 393 Murphy Smith R/R RHP Binghamton N.Y.
A 6′3 Junior out of Clifton Park, New York, Murphy Smith of Binghamton
University was the A’s 13th round pick.
Murphy was 7-3 this season, pitching two complete games, and holding an ERA of
3.12. He didn’t really have much defensive support behind him, as 13 runs he
allowed were unearned. He struck out 84 in 89 innings, and allowed a mere 14
walks.
Smith was 6-4 last year, and struck out 61.
He looks to me as a guy who knows how to strike guys out, and where to locate
pitches, due to the number of walks he’s allowed which is barely any.
For a 13th round pick, he is just the second-highest draft choice in school
history, and I’d be shocked if he doesn’t sign seeing as how his team won’t
advance to the NCAA World Series next year, because they’re not a big name
school.
He won Pitcher of the Week the first week of March, and won Team MVP two years
in a row back in High School.
I don’t know how hard he throws, but if you go 13-7 on a team that only won 59
games in two years, you have to be a good pitcher.
Congrats to Murphy.
14 423 Drew Gagnier R/R RHP Oregon Ore.
Another California native, this time a huge RHP, 6′4, 225 out of the
University of Oregon.
Drew Gagnier was first at Fresno State, before transferring to Oregon last
season. He is a Redshirt Junior.
Giving up just 9 earned runs in 30 innings, he held a 2.70 ERA and a 1-0 record
as a reliever, and averaged a strikeout per inning.
Batters hit a disgusting .137 against Gagnier, who pitched for a team that
picked up just 14 wins in their second season.
Originally from Santa Cruz, Gagnier was an Outfielder in High School, earning
All-League honors for the position, and has baseball in his blood as brother
Lauren plays for the Detroit Tigers system.
He once pitched in a 7 inning combined no-hitter, and his 7 saves this season
were tops for the club.
Although 25 walks may be a concern, he looks like a fairly solid pick for the
bullpen.
15 453 Anthony Aliotti L/L 1B St. Mary's Calif.
A Junior 1B out of Saint Mary’s College, Anthony Aliotti is a two-way player,
pitching from the left side, in addition to playing 1B.
He was mostly a 1B this year, and did so fantastically, hitting once every
three at-bats, for an average of .333. His 39 RBI was second on his team, and
he drew 27 walks. He may be a bit like JD Pruitt, as he was hit by a pitch 14
times. If we have another guy like Pruitt for a third year in a row, there is
something up (in a good way).
Aliotti held a slugging percentage of .491, and had just 3 errors.
On the hill he struggled, I’ll go as far as that. He was 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA.
Luckily for him, he’s great at the dish, and Oakland needs a good left-handed
hitter this draft. It looks to me like Aliotti may be that guy.
Just looking at him quickly, reminds me a bit of Sean Doolittle (2007), who was
also a two-way LHP/1B at College. Of course, Doolittle is now in AAA with
Sacramento.
Aliotti was 3-5 with 2 RBI and a double, with 11 putouts at a game in Spokane
against the Bulldogs on May 2nd. That’s the kind of clutch performance
Oakland is looking for in him, I would guess.
16 483 Josh Leyland L/R C Sam Dimas (Calif.) HS Calif.
BA: (National rank: 145)
Surefire high school hitters are a scare commodity in Southern California and
throughout the 2009 draft class, and that helps Leyland stand out. A 6-foot-3,
225-pounder, he may be the most mature and fundamentally sound high school
hitter in the state. In an early season game, one coach told his team of
Leyland: "These guys have an Adam Dunn over there." Two homers later the same
coach lamented, "I shouldn't have pitched to him." Leyland has average to above
-average raw power, which has been on display at showcases nationwide. He has
done more in those events than hammer the ball in BP, also showing his power in
game action. Few high schoolers are as advanced fundamentally as Leyland. His
stance is well balanced, and his swing is short to the ball and long afterward.
Leyland does not run well, so first base or catcher will be his future
defensive home. While not a polished catcher, his hands work decently at that
spot. His arm is acceptable, though he'll need work on his catch and throw
technique. Whatever position he plays, Leyland's bat will always be his trump
card. Few high school hitters can match his blend of raw power and technical
precision.
natnotes.com:
Oakland’s 16th round selection is a big C/1B from San Dimas, California. Josh
Leyland comes in at a powerful 6′3, 230, and has a big bat that accompanies
him.
He once had 3 HR and 10 RBI one game, says his High School Coach Mike Regan,and
has apparently been given a Scholarship to play for the Washington State
Cougars next year, making this a gamble.
He has a 2.9 GPA, and the left-handed batter hit 4 Homeruns at the 2009
International High School Power Showcase Home Run Derby as the Californian
representative.
Leyland smashed 4 Homers with metal bats, including one that traveled 472 feet
at Tropicana Field.
He sports a pop-up time of 1.9 behind the plate, and appeared on three Elite
Camps in 2008, for the Dodgers, Brewers and Rays.
17 513 Pat Stover R/R OF Rocklin (Calif.) HS Calif.
Pat Stover is a 6′4 outfielder with a .451 Batting Average, and 15 extra-base
hits.
He struck out 15 times in 98 appearances, and is a standout with the basketball
program at Rocklin High School as well.
He missed the first week of baseball season for State Basketball games.
Stover "loves baseball but could not live without basketball."
He has a scholarship in his name at Santa Clara, but after hitting above .430
in his last two years of High School,he may be ready for professional baseball.
18 543 Max Peterson L/L LHP San Jose State Calif.
A young man who "wants to play professional baseball", has been drafted by the
name of Max Peterson, and he is from the same school as ex-Canadian Brad Kilby.
Peterson was 7-1 this year, to go along with his 4.55 ERA. He struck out 62 in
65 and a third, and walked 37.
Last year he was 5-6 with an ERA above 5.00, and he was a pre-season All-WAC
candidate, as named by Baseball America.
From Coach Sam Piraro on Peterson:
"He runs the count [...], he has really good stuff, he’s hard to hit, but what
happens is it takes a toll on him later in the game."
Sounds like he can definitely turn out to be a good pitcher.
19 573 Daniel Tenholder R/R RHP Austin Peay State Tenn.
A closer out of Austin Peay State, Daniel Tenholder was picked by the A’s in
the 19th round.
Last year Tenholder was 4-1 with a 2.72 ERA, picking up 11 saves. He struck
out 41 in 36 innings.
In 2009, Daniel went 3-2, during 30 appearances (1 start), and had an ERA of
2.93. His 9 saves gave him the most ever for an Austin Peay pitcher all-time.
He averaged just under a strikeout per inning, and held batters to a .234
average at the dish.
20 603 Tyler Bernard R/R SS Valley Center (Calif.) HS Calif.
Round 20: After enjoying success both on the gridiron and on the diamond, Tyler
Bernard has committed to Baseball from now on, and the A’s 20th round
selection is headed to Arizona one way or another. It can be to Papago Park
for A’s orientation, or to Tempe, Arizona, for the ASU Sun Devils and the
Baseball program.
He is a SS/3B who can also pitch, according to his father, and is 6′1 175.
21 633 Mike Faulkner L/L OF Germantown (Tenn.) HS Tenn.
Round 21: A CF out of Tennessee, Mike Faulkner is scheduled to attend Arkansas
State University next year. The southpaw is one of the top Tennessee prospects
out of High School ,and is a three-star high school prospect, per Baseball
America.
Last year, he hit .431 as a junior in High School.
22 663 Ryan Quigley L/L LHP Northeastern Mass.
Round 22: If the A’s were looking for somebody with experience, Ryan Quigley
(top left) has that. Which other A’s draftees have pitched, and struck out
successfully Kevin Youkilis and Jed Lowrie back to back? Quigley pitched to
both on February 28th, at the beginning of a season that saw him go 3-5 with
a 6.35 ERA. He had 80 K’s in 66.2 innings, which is the most impressive of
his stats.
He had 16 wild pitches, but going back to the 28th of February, he pitched an
inning of no-hit, one walk, two K baseball against the Sox, in an outing his
club would lose, well actually get mercied.
23 693 Kent Walton R/R OF Brigham Young Utah
Round 23: The second Brigham Young Cougar chosen on this day by Oakland is
another California native, by the name of Kent Walton (right). The Senior OF
hit .377 this year, and smashed 9 HR’s and 10 doubles. He also has stolen 53
bases over four campaigns at BYU, where he has a combined 26 HR, 163 RBI and a
.338 average.
After being named First Team All-Mountain West Conference, it should come as no
surprise Walton heard his name on draft day.
24 723 Daniel Straily R/R RHP Marshall W.Va.
Round 24: Dan Straily is a big 6′2 229 on the hill, an RHP from Oregon, where
he attended Western Oregon University before transfering to Marshall University
.
Straily was 4-3 with a 4.27 ERA this year, where he struck out 58 in 71 innings
.
Straily doesn’t walk often, and started all 13 games he appeared in, the only
Marshall player to do so.
25 753 Chris Mederos R/R RHP Georgia Southern Ga.
Round 25: The first A’s draftee this year who I know has thrown a no-hitter
before is Chris Mederos, who comes from Georgia Southern University. Mederos
threw one against Colquitt County HS back in the day, and is a beloved Red Sox
fan (C’s Ticket Manager Jason Takefman probably loves him).
Mederos had a spectacular season, going 11-1 with a 3.83 ERA. His 113
strikeotus in just 94 innings were the best on the Eagles, and 29 walks in
those innings isn’t too shabby. Good Right-Handed arm, and I’m liking the
pick.
26 783 Nathan Long R/R RHP Texas-Arlington Texas
Round 26: Another RHP, Nathan Long (left) is a College Senior who once played
for the University of Oklahoma, before transferring to UT Arlington.
The second strikeout pitcher the A’s took in a row, Long had 104 in 93 innings
this season, walking, as did Mederos, 29.
Long was 6-4 with a 3.76 ERA, and pitched a pair of complete games, including
one shutout.
27 813 Michael Gilmartin S/R 2B Wofford S.C.
Round 27: Michael Gilmartin went to Wofford College, where as a Soph last year,
playing 2B, hit .364 with 9 HR’s and 21 doubles.
He had 8 stolen bags, and has been twice named to the All-Southern Conference
team.
Hitting .335 this year as a Junior, he hit 13 dingers, and 49 RBI. He can also
pitch, picking up 17 saves in 17 appearances of relief.
Just the 7th player from Wofford to be drafted.
28 843 Connor Crumbliss L/R 2B Emporia State (Kan.) Kan.
Round 28: Connor Crumbliss comes from Emporia State, where he was a Senior. He
had a phenomenal year, and deserved to get drafted. He had 5 triples and 5 HR
’s, to go along with 30 doubles, and an average of, get this, .397.
Strikign out 15 times in 247 at-bats, Crumbliss lead his club in average,
doubles, triples, walks (34), and OBP (.483). When you realize he was 30-32
on Stolen Base attempts, and had just one error all season long, how was he not
taken earlier? Great, great, pick.
29 873 Michael Zunino R/R C Mariner HS, Cape Coral, Fla
BA: (National rank: 163)
Zunino was yet another option for scouts trolling Florida looking for prep
catchers. One didn't have to go far, as his father Greg is a California alum
and has scouted for the 22 years, currently working for the Reds. Zunino's a
solid athlete and average present runner (4.3 seconds to first base from the
right side), whose calling card is his raw power. Zunino can put on a show in
batting practice, and the last two seasons, he's carried it over into games. He
broke his own school record of 10, set in 2008, this spring with 11 home runs,
leading Mariner High to back-to-back district titles. A solidly built 6-foot,
185-pound righthanded hitter, Zunino has committed to Florida as part of the
Gators' immense, impressive recruiting class. He has improved his chances of
being bought out of school by making significant strides defensively. Whereas
last summer he was not a clean receiver and dropped a lot of balls, he showed
improvement in the fall and has the potential to be an average defender, with
above-average raw arm strength. He has some baseball savvy from his upbringing
that makes him even more attractive.
natnotes.com:
Round 29: Mike Zunino holds a 3.5 GPA, a vertical of 30.9 inches, and can do
the 30-yard dash in just under 3.90.
The catcher from Cape Coral Florida is headed to the University of Florida next
year, but that didn’t stop the A’s from picking the #41 best High Schooler in
the draft, per RivalsHigh.com.
Zunino was projected to go in the top 6 rounds, at the very lowest, so the fact
he didn’t go til Round 29 will all-but seal his fate with the A’s.
His dad is a scout for the Reds, and here’s a quote from his dad:
"His preference would be to play pro baseball."
30 903 Royce Consigli L/R OF Notre Dame HS, Welland, Ont.
Round 30: Oh Canada, we have a winner. The A’s have picked a Canadian, and it
is Royce Consigli of Welland, Ontario.
Headed to the University of Pittsburgh, could an opportunity to play his first
year of pro in his home country be too good to pass up?
We’ll have to wait and see what the OF decides, because I think he would be a
great pick to follow in the weeks to come.
