2012 MLB Draft Big Board 81-100

Leave a comment

Two current NFL players in the NFC South were once two of the top 100 baseball prospects on DraftNasty’s 2012 MLB Draft Big Board. Hayden Hurst has since gone on to become a starter for the Atlanta Falcons and former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston now plays for the New Orleans Saints.

85 Michael Morin RHP North Carolina JR 6’4” 180 R/R Morin is a polished pitcher with great run on both his fastball and slider and is able to command them both effectively.

89 Chris Taylor SS Virginia JR 6’0” 170 R/R Taylor hits for average and his strong arm and good speed make him versatile defensively.
90 Wes Tranckino 3B Edmond Memorial HS (OK) SR 6’2” 195 R/R Tranckino has power to all fields and is a good contact hitter, but is also a solid defensive third baseman.

 
91 Daniel Garner C Sparkman HS (AL) SR 6’1” 195 R/R Garner has soft hands, a strong arm, 1.85 pop time behind the plate, and power to all fields.
92 Jameis Winston OF Hueytown HS (AL) SR 6’4” 208 S/R Winston has the potential to be a 5 tool centerfielder, if his power develops. Winston is a quarterback and has been recruited to play in college.

100 Colby Holmes RHP South Carolina JR 5’11” 200 R/R Holmes has a low 90’s fastball, a slider with swing and miss potential, and a good change-up. His size could hurt his draft stock
