BREWERFAN.NET SCOUTING REPORT:

 

George has a very thin, slight build but does have broad shoulders and wiry strong limbs that lead many to believe he will be able to put on muscle mass as he continues to mature and work out. He has very fluid, quick-twitch actions at shortstop with a strong arm and above average range. He is very raw at the plate and needs to work on his swing and overall mechanics. If he signs he's has a high ceiling, but will need to be given plenty of patience to develop.

BREWERFAN.NET SCOUTING REPORT:

 

Bahramzadeh has a good, projectable build, with strong, athletic proportions. He is a talented two-way player that has some power potential at the plate to go along with an improving arm. He throws in the upper-80s at this point in time with a slurvy breaking ball that shows good bit and upper-70s velocity. At this point in time draft, it may be difficult to sign him away from his commitment to Kansas State.

 

NOTES & INFO:

 

Has Scholarship offer to Kansas State

ROUND 48: Marcus Salmon - RHP - SIGNED

6'3", 220, R/R, Miami Dade CC South

 

BREWERFAN.NET SCOUTING REPORT:

 

Salmon has a strong and sturdy build, and came out of high school known more for his abilities as a sturdy backstop with a cannon for an arm. His arm strength has led to him being used more as a pitcher, with the ability to sit in the low-90s. His offspeed stuff is a work in progress, but he has shown the ability to spin a promising breaking ball. He could be a candidate to be a short reliever down the road, but may opt to pursue his commitment to Jackson State.

 

NOTES & INFO:

 

Previously drafted, Washington, Round 10, 2006

Has scholarship to Jackson State.

BREWERFAN.NET SCOUTING REPORT:

 

Meadows has very good size for a left-handed pitcher, and very good athleticism. He was a promising two-way star in high school, with a very good swing made for loft power. His stuff has improved since attending college, going from the mid-80s to the upper 80s. He spins a pretty good breaking ball and knows how to pitch, and while he has the ability to strike batters out, he can be hittable. Keeping away from Texas Tech for his junior year of eligiblity may be tough.

ROUND 50: Sean Nolin - LHP

6'4", 235, L/L, Seaford HS (NY)

BREWERFAN.NET SCOUTING REPORT:

 

Nolin, like Dan Meadows, has a very large frame for a left-handed pitcher. He is physically matured at 235 pounds, but there are some concerns that he'll have to keep an eye on his conditioning. He throws in the upper-80s and commands his fastball well. His big-breaking slow curve sits in the low-70s, and he also throws a changeup to keep hitters off balance. As a 50th round pick, he may be more inclined to honor his college commitment to San Jacinto, a junior college known for developing young pitchers.

 

NOTES & INFO:

 

Committed to play for San Jacinto Junior College.
