No. 10 Top Outfield Prospects In The 2014 Class
Our scouting analysis was nearly spot on back in May when we projected Corning HS star Zach Sullivan, OF (Corning HS, NY) to be a top 10-rounder in June's 2014 amateur MLB draft. Sullivan went in the 14th round by the Miami Marlins and showed that the upstate NY standout could handle rookie ball batting just south of .300 his first year. It's fun to look back and see where these bold predictions/projections shake out, for us however, there is plenty more then just a bold guess involved.
PBR New York’s Top 2014 HS Outfielders
Zach Sullivan, OF (Corning HS, NY) –Stony Brook commit
Sullivan is a no brainer with his athleticism and projection at the next level. He stands 6-foot-3, 180 pounds with plenty of frame to add some good weight. He runs like a deer, has great instincts to the ball, and he is continuing to swing the stick with bat speed and a solid approach. He runs a 6.5-6.6 60, and I have had his steal times around 3.4 to second. Sullivan could go in the top 10 rounds this upcoming June draft.
CJ Moore, OF (Suffield Academy HS, NY) –Lamar commit
Moore stands 6-foot-3 205 pounds with an athletic frame. He has the professional look about him when you see him play, right hand stick with strong bat speed. Runs very well for size 6.5-6.7 60 times. Has good range in the OF with the ability to move laterally well.
Tristan Rojas, OF (James Monroe HS, NY) –Grayson County CC commit
Rojas stands 5-foot-11 175 pounds and has a physical strong frame. He can run well (6.7) and has a good accurate arm but release needs to be quicker, and swings a fast bat. Shows some power potential on the inner third of the plate. Interesting prospect headed to Junior College.
Steven Foster, OF (Sachem North HS, NY) –Hofstra commit
Foster stands 5-foot-11 180 pounds, and swings it from the left side. He runs well (6.7) and shows plus instincts defensively. I like his bat and his power potential he shows, arm is a plus as well. Foster will continue to grow at Hofstra.
Aaron Floyd, OF (Longwood HS, NY) –Stony Brook
Floyd may be the most intriguing of all the outfielders in the 2014 Class. He stands 6-foot-2 170 pounds with plenty of room to add some weight. He runs solid for his size but plays faster in the field. Has a plus arm, probably the best in the list, and with his long loose levers creates some impressive power. Very interesting next level prospect.
