Kyle Skipworth C L-R 6-3 195 Patriot 3/1/1990
SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Skipworth stands out as the top catcher in the 2008
class and perhaps the top overall high school-age catching package since Joe
Mauer was the first overall pick in the 2001 draft. The similarities between
the two go beyond that. Both have exceptional athletic ability, tall/lanky
frames, are lefthanded hitters and were quarterback recruits (Skipworth dropped
football last fall). One area that Skipworth does exceed Mauer is present and
projected power, although his defense is not as polished as the Twins all-star.
Skipworth has all the defensive tools but his athletic ability has enabled him
to play other positions extensively. He played third base as a high school
sophomore and hit .471 with a team-leading 16 RBIs as USA Baseball’s national
youth team’s left fielder at the 2006 Pan Am Youth games. Skipworth hit
.422-8-45 last spring in high school and hit some bombs during the summer
circuit that made scouts take notice, including one at the Aflac All-American
game in San Diego. He broke his little finger while playing for the eventual
champion Atlanta Braves Scout Team at the 2007 World Wood Bat Association Fall
Championship in Jupiter, Fla., when he came out of his crouch a little early
and was clipped by the bat on the hitter’s follow through. He was 100 percent
again by the start of the 2008 season.—DAVID RAWNSLEY
UPDATE (5/1): Skipworth’s spring was nothing short of incredible. He put
together a string of 18 straight base hits, a new California state high school
record, at one point and was hitting .580-13-47 as of mid-May for his 24-2
Patriot High team. The Mauer comparisons have been coming fast and furious, and
Skipworth has even been mentioned as a potential No. 1 overall pick, although
that seems like a reach. What doesn’t seem like a reach is his selection in
the first 10 rounds.—DR

Brad Hand LHP/1B L-L 6-2 205 Chaska Chaska, 3/20/1990
SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Hand not only is a three-sport star in Minnesota, he’s
a two-way prospect on the baseball field. That shouldn’t be a surprise as his
father played both football and baseball during college at Iowa State—back
when Iowa State played baseball. Hand’s other sports are hockey (22 goals in
27 games as a junior forward) and football (linebacker). Hand’s future on the
baseball field is probably on the mound, where he shows surprising polish for a
young prospect from the north. Hand’s fastball topped out at 93 mph last
summer and he shows good feel for a 76-mph power curveball. His pitching
ability is only marginally more advanced that his powerful lefthanded swing at
the plate. He went 4-1, 1.69 with 71 strikeouts in 42 innings as a junior while
hitting .419 with six home runs.—DAVID RAWNSLEY
UPDATE (5/1): Hand was the big prospect in the Upper Midwest over the last
month of the season and was extensively cross-checked. He consistently showed
two plus pitches; a fastball that was in the 91-94 mph range and a hard, downer
curveball in the upper-70s. His curveball was especially impressive, garnering
plenty of “wow”-type comments from national-level scouts, who rated it as one
of the top high school breaking balls in the country. Hand’s delivery is not
especially smooth and his arm is more powerful than loose, but there is no
arguing with the raw stuff that comes out. The first round seems to be a bit
high for Hand, but he should certainly be in the mix for teams looking to take
a high school pitcher in the comp or second round. Hand went 6-1, 0.45 this
spring with 80 K’s and added six home runs.—DR

Edgar Olmos LHP L-L 6-5 180 Birmingham 4/12/1990
SCOUTING REPORT: Olmos is one of the numerous SoCal southpaws that is long,
lean and projectable, and can throw close to average velocity. Olmos is looser
than most, but he also has a more slender-boned build and might be challenged
to gain strength in the future. He presently throws in the upper 80s, touching
90 mph with a typical lefthander’s tailing action. He shows promise with both
his curveball and change up, especially when he throws his curveball in the
mid-70s instead of aiming it.—DAVID RAWNSLEY
Player Pos. B-T HT WT High School B’date
Curtis Peterson RHP R-R 6-3 180 Denton Ryan 8/28/1989
SCOUTING REPORT: Peterson is a loose and very projectable righthander who came
on strong as the spring progressed. He has an easy, low-effort delivery and arm
action, and projects plus command in the future. Peterson has three solid
pitches right now and uses them well. His fastball is mostly in the upper-80s
and will touch 91-92 mph at times. He also throws a mid-70s curveball and a
very nice changeup for a high school pitcher. Peterson gets plus points for
being an intense competitor, and went 11-2, 1.07 through the first round of the
Texas 4-A playoffs this spring.—DAVID RAWNSLEY

Pete Andrelczyk RHP R-R 6-1 185 Coastal Carolina 11/10/1985
SCOUTING REPORT: Nine South Carolina college players were drafted a year ago
who ended up back in school, and none improved his stock this season quite like
Andrelczyk, who originally enrolled at Coastal Carolina as a shortstop and was
red-shirted as a freshman. Andrelczyk was an afterthought 32nd-rounder of the
Orioles after going 2-1, 4.33 in 27 appearances as a draft-eligible sophomore.
He was a vastly improved pitcher this season as Coastal Carolina’s closer and
now projects as a fourth- or fifth-rounder. He was 5-1, 3.54 with seven saves
and gave up only nine walks while striking out 49 in 41 innings. Andrelczyk
always had good raw stuff, but all his pitches picked up velocity in 2008 and
he significantly improved his command in the process. His fastball sat at
92-93 mph, touching 94, his power slider ranged from 82-86 and a hard curve was
at 78-79. The greatest difference in his game came from adjusting the grip on
his slider, giving the pitch significantly more movement. He should continue to
pitch in relief, in a closer or set-up role, as he progresses into pro ball.

Graham Johnson RHP R-R 6-6 215 Westlake 10/13/1989
SCOUTING REPORT: Scouts who came to see Cutter Dykstra and Shane Kroker at
Westlake High also were able to watch Johnson, a big-bodied righthander, pitch
on occasion. Johnson’s fastball was up to 91-93 mph at times, although his
delivery and secondary stuff are still on the raw side. He was used frequently
out of the bullpen, routinely for an inning or two in a set-up role, and he
went 2-3, 3.35 with 39 K’s in 43 innings. He projects a relief role at the
next level.—DAVID RAWNSLEY

Paul Gran 3B R-R 5-11 185 Washington State 4/7/1986
SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Gran wasn’t drafted as a shortstop in 2007, in large
measure because his asking price was reportedly significantly out of line from
his modest production over the previous two seasons at WSU—.299-0-27 in 2006
and .314-6-34 in 2007. He had a total of 24 stolen bases over the two seasons.
But Gran’s tools, especially his power-speed package, continue to intrigue
scouts and his production took a pronounced leap forward in the latter part of
the 2007 spring season, during the summer in the New England Collegiate League
and especially last fall in scrimmage games and early this season as Washington
State bolted out of the gate quickly. If the 2008 draft were held today, Gran
probably would be the first Washington player selected.—ALLAN SIMPSON
UPDATE (5/15): There is no consensus among scouts on the most-draftable college
player in Washington, but Gran earned genuine interest all spring by increasing
his power production and playing a nearly-flawless third base. He homered 11
times, while batting .313, and also committed just one error in 163 chances at
the hot corner for a .994 fielding average—an unheard of average for a third
baseman, at any level. None of his tools truly stand out, but they are all
solid and Gran profiles as a utility player in the future, somewhat in the
mould of the Seattle Mariners’ Willie Bloomquist. In a best-case scenario,
he could evolve into an offensive second baseman.—AS

Isaac Galloway OF R-R 6-3 190 Los Osos 10-10-89
SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Galloway is what scouts look for when they envision an
outfield prospect; he’s 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds with an agile,
well-proportioned, athletic frame. He has excellent speed and obvious power
potential and athleticism. They will also have to project Galloway more than
many similar outfield prospects, as Galloway’s power has yet to develop in
games. He hit only .365 with two homers as a high school junior. He has obvious
raw bat speed and an aggressive approach to hitting a fastball, but must learn
to keep his weight back and use his lower half more to maximize his power
potential. He stole 14 bases as a high school junior. He has long strides and
accelerates well underway, but was hindered much of last summer by an ankle
sprain. Galloway’s father, Isaac Sr., played minor league baseball before
joining the Los Angeles Police Department. Galloway has good knowledge of the
game, inherited from his father.—DAVID RAWNSLEY
UPDATE (5/15): Galloway flashed all of his considerable tools this spring, but
didn’t seem to make many teams fall in love with him as “solid third- to
fourth-rounder” was what most scouts had to say about him.—DR

Dan Jennings LHP L-L 6-3 183 Nebraska 4/17/1987
SCOUTING REPORT: Jennings emerged this spring to become an effective pitcher
after two years deep in the Nebraska bullpen. He swung between starting
mid-week contests for the Cornhuskers and coming out of the bullpen on weekends
, often closing, and posted a 6-3, 2.95 record with four saves as Nebraska
entered NCAA regional play. Jennings’ fastball can touch 90-91 mph but he
pitches more in the 86-88 range. He throws a curveball, slider and changeup,
but his slider is his out-pitch, especially to lefthanded hitters, who he
dominates. Jennings had some episodes late in the season where his control left
him for stretches and that might just be a matter of fatigue. Jennings’
four-pitch arsenal, his easy delivery and his success as a full-time starter
last summer in the Northwoods League paints that role as his best in the future
.—DAVID RAWNSLEY

Trevor Holder RHP R-R 6-3 198 Georgia 1/8/1987
SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Holder had a solid regular season for Yarmouth-Dennis of
the Cape Cod League in the summer of 2007, going 4-1, 0.89 with eight walks and
28 strikeouts in 30 innings while used as both a starter and in relief. He
saved his best for last, though, pitching the first eight innings of a 2-0 win
over Falmouth in the deciding game of the Cape League’s championship series.
He allowed one hit, walked two and struck out 10. With a number of scouts
watching his every step, he thoroughly dominated the Commodores with a fastball
that had tailing action and slight sink and got increasingly stronger as the
game moved along and peaked at 93 mph. He also worked in an 80-84 mph slider
that he learned during the summer and a filthy changeup—his best pitch. He
showed excellent command of all his pitches, along with an aggressive,
attacking style and an ability to mix all his pitches—and did so with little
effort. He can throw strikes consistently to both sides of the plate with Greg
Maddux-like precision, and works at a fast tempo. He returned to Georgia,
intent on hanging on to a starting job in 2008 after going 2-3, 4.50 in 20
appearances (10 starts) for the Bulldogs as a sophomore. He projects as a
back-end of the rotation starter.—ALLAN SIMPSON
UPDATE (5/15): Holder was the Bulldogs’ Friday starter all spring and while he
didn’t quite repeat his Cape Cod League championship game performance, he
solidified his draft status as a third- to fifth-rounder. He added and
subtracted to a fastball between 86 and 92 mph, with sneaky-quick velocity at
the higher level. He also showed a big-league slider and changeup at times this
spring. Holder’s record was 7-4, 4.48 with 54 strikeouts in 74 innings as No.
1-seeded Georgia entered the SEC tournament.—DR
