Lincoln's 2010 MLB Draft Board

Rk Name Pos Comment Age School

1 Bryce Harper C Probably not going to be LeBron, but he's the best player in this class 17.4 CSN

2 Jameson Taillon RHP Giant human being, FB sits mid 90's w/ sink, low 80's CV is plus pitch 18.3 HS

3 Kevin Gausman RHP Easy gas, 4-seam FB (93-94) touched 97, sinker and CV, smooth motion 19.1 HS

4 Nick Castellanos 3B Best pure hitter in draft, easy power to all fields, solid athlete, avg runner 18.0 HS

5 Drew Pomeranz LHP CV among best breakers in all of college, low 90's FB, very polished 21.2 MISS

6 Deck McGuire RHP Big upside, 90-93 FB, plus breaker and solid CH, potential workhorse 20.7 GT

7 (NY Mets) Brandon Workman RHP Dynamite FB, CV combo, greatly improved command, frame to build on 21.5 UT

              Bio - School: Texas - Drafted: Available for 2010 draft - scouting Report: Workman showed two pitches, a 92-94 mph fastball with hard run (meaning that it moves in toward left-handed batters) and a sharp 76-79 mph spike curveball with downward break and two-plane action. He's a drop-and-drive guy who cuts himself off slightly when he lands on his front leg. His arm action starts out long in the back, but he pronates his elbow early and is shorter around his body. He gets great life on the fastball from a three-quarter slot, so unlike a lot of lower-slot pitchers, he shouldn't have a big platoon issue. - link
