Comments: In another Draft class, Barnes -- with his long, lanky frame and potential for a very good three-pitch mix -- would put him close to the top of Draft boards. The depth in outstanding pitching in this class knocks Barnes down a touch, but he's still in line to get taken in the top half of the first round. Barnes can crank his fastball up to 96 mph and will comfortably sit in the 91-93 mph range. He currently throws two breaking pitches. His curve has the chance to be a plus pitch if he focuses on it, with good rotation. His slider is a below-average pitch, and it might be best if he used just the curve at the next level. His changeup has the chance to be a good option, especially against lefties, but he doesn't use it that much now. He should have excellent command in the future and his frame might allow him to add some bulk along the way. He looks and acts like a frontline starter, and that's exactly what he might be down the line

Bauer, Trevor

UCLA

RHP

R/R

1991-01-17

Comments: While ace Gerrit Cole has, somewhat understandably, gotten most of the buzz at UCLA, the guy pitching the next day has been just as effective, if not moreso. Bauer uses a vast assortment of weapons to get hitters out. He can get his fastball up to 97 mph, sitting comfortably in the 93-94 mph range. He can overthrow it early, losing some command, but he tends to adjust and commands it very well later in games. His curve is a plus pitch, a top-to-bottom breaking ball that generates a lot of swings and misses. He also throws a slider, changeup and splitter and will use them all as necessary. Bauer gets, and welcomes, Tim Lincecum comparisons, both because of his size and his pitching style. Critics think it's not a fair comp and that Bauer succeeds by getting college hitters to chase pitches out of the zone, something that won't fly at the next level. There's also been some concern about heavy pitch counts, but if the Lincecum parallel holds true, it won't be a problem. His performance this spring has likely catapulted him into the top third of the first round.

Lawrence Academy (MA)

RHP

R/R

6'04"

1993-05-23

Comments: There might not be a high school pitcher with better mechanics than this Massachusetts product. The right-hander has a clean and effortless delivery, and the ball comes out of his hand really well. Beede throws his fastball 89-93 mph, sitting comfortably at 91-92 mph, with good late life. He's got a nasty hard breaking ball, which is kind of between a curve and a slider, with the shorter break of a slider, but with the depth that looks more like a curve. He's also got good feel for a changeup, and he's got above-average command of all three pitches. He pitches now like an advanced college arm, something it might be difficult to sign him away from doing at Vanderbilt next year.

Jesuit College Prep (TX)

S/R

1992-08-14

Comments: While this Draft class is getting more buzz because of the arms, there are some very interesting bats, especially from the high school ranks. Bell might be one of the best in that group. The Texas high schooler, who will head to the University of Texas if he doesn't sign, is a legitimate switch-hitter who has plus hit and power tools from both sides of the plate. It's the kind of bat that compares favorably with someone like Chili Davis or Cliff Floyd, though Floyd didn't switch-hit. Bell has an average arm and is an average runner, meaning he's likely to move from center field, where he plays now, over to a corner. He might be more of a left fielder, but he can handle right and should be an above-average defender when all is said and done. It's the bat that's really special and it's what will get him drafted at some point in the first round in all likelihood.
