Florida High School Players Selected in Rounds 1-2
June 6, 2014
Player: Nick Gordon
Round #: 1st – 5th Pick Overall
MLB Organization: Minnesota Twins
High School: Olympia
Position: SS
Comments: Good athlete, with pro bloodlines. His frame much like his brother Dee (Los Angeles Dodgers), is athletic yet slender. His polished actions on the left side of the infield play well and has above average arm strength that was clocked up to 94 mph on the mound.
Player: Touki Toussaint
Round #: 1st – 16th Pick Overall
MLB Organization: Arizona Diamondbacks
High School: Coral Springs Christian Academy
Position: RHP
Comments: One of the best high school arms in the draft. His fastball ranges up to 97mph.
Player: Foster Griffin
Round #: Compensatory Round – 28th Pick Overall
MLB Organization: Kansas City Royals
High School: The First Academy
Position: LHP
Comments: He has developed nicely showing a velocity up to 92 mph with his fastball. His curveball and change-up sit 75-77 mph.
Player: Forrest Wall
Round #: Compensatory Round – 35th Pick Overall
MLB Organization: Colorado Rockies
High School: Orangewood Christian
Position: 2B
Comments: A plus runner. Good actions defensively. Scouts have questioned arm strength because of a shoulder injury which has led to him playing 2B. Makes up at the plate what he may lack in arm strength.
Player: Sean Reid-Foley
Round #: 2nd – 49th Pick Overall
MLB Organization: Toronto Blue Jays
High School: Sandalwood
Position: RHP
Comments: His fastball was up to 94 and sat 91-93.
His slider which some scouts rated as Major League ready was consistently clocked at 87.
Player: Ronnie Williams
Round #: 2nd – 68th Pick Overall
MLB Organization: St. Louis Cardinals
High School: American Senior
Position: RHP
Comments: He possesses a power arm and has topped out at 94 mph, pitching at 91-92. His secondary stuff has shown flashes of potential at times. His curveball has some depth to it, but his changeup is a great complement to his fastball.
