[gregmag]

Did we seriously just draft a LHP from the "Hun School"? What do they teach there -- pilliaging?

 

Greg.

[And That]

Stevenson Garrison the Hun?

[And That]

I mean wow, I'm speachless. I wonder if Atilla recommended him.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Oops...missed that there's a new thread...

 

LHP Steve Garrison (4) grades out third among New Jersey?s elite high school arms for the purposes of this year?s draft, but some scouts believe he may end up better in the long run than Hunt or Mazzaro. He throws strikes with all his pitches, with command to both sides of the plate. His fastball was mainly in the 86-88 mph range this spring, but it has been 90-91 in the past and scouts have no doubt it will return to that velocity, and possibly exceed it because he is athletic and has good arm speed. He also has a quality slider that he can bury under the hands of righthanded hitters. On talent, mound presence and feel for the game, Garrison would surely go in the first 10 round, but he is a signability risk of a strong commitment to North Carolina, and that could knock him down and possibly right out of the draft.

It's a boarding school.

People at work are wondering why i'm laughing so hard.

[SoCalBrewfan]

No, you're confused...a boarding school would be for pirates. Huns mainly were on foot or horseback.

[gregmag]

I live in Philly, and I've always mistrusted New Jersey's intentions, but the existence of this school just disturbs me on a whole new level. I mean, our ramparts here absolutely suck, and the kids these days just don't want to become archers.

Wow.

 

 

Just ... wow.

[brettac1]

I wonder how much luck Bill is having finding stuff on this guy. I can't find anything.

[Brian the Automator]

Did Tommy pass out?

Google '"Steve Garrison" baseball'

[batman]

Lots of stuff on Garrison... he's been a lot easier to research than several of the other picks.

[BucEbadger1979]

[batman]

I finally found the MLB.com draft tracker:

MLB.com on Allar:

 

Tall athletic body. Similar to Mike DeJean. Fastball sinks w/ very good velocity. Challenges hitters. Also throws circle change.

 

Sinkerballer=good.

[gregmag]

Thanks, Bill! What a horribly designed site that is.

 

Greg.

12th round: John Alonso, 1B, some CC in Florida
