11-14-13 - Michael Schwartze - The two top names behind
Jackson are Clovis (Calif.) High School shortstop Jacob Gatewood and T.C.
Robertson (Ashville, N.C.) High School outfielder Braxton Davidson. Gatewood has big upside with huge raw power, but
showed contact issues over the summer, as his swing was often stuck in
batting-practice mode during games leading to a lot of swings and misses.
Davidson showed enough plate skills to suggest he’s one of the best pure
hitters in prep class but may require an eventual switch to first base. His
draft stock will carry him, but if he can stick in right field he’s probably a
surefire first-round selection come June. http://www.studentsports.com/blog/2013/11/13/baseball-jupiter-wraps-up-2013-showcase-circuit/
11-6-13 – Todd Gold – WWBA World Championship – Austin Murphy (2014 OF, Mets Scout
Team/Orlando Scorpions) - A look at his player profile page confirms that Murphy
was completely off the radar entering the fall of his senior year. He made a
huge first impression in Jupiter, showing a smooth lefthanded swing with good
bat speed and the ability to whip the barrel through the hitting zone with
authority. He not only showed the ability to use the whole ballpark, he runs
very well, suggesting that he can be an asset defensively in the outfield. As a
late pickup to a loaded organization that plays together year-round, he served
in an extra hitter/DH type of role in Jupiter. He will be an interesting
prospect to follow this spring, as he has gone from being off the radar to one
of the more intriguing position prospects in northern Florida. Murphy hit an
attention grabbing .417/.533/.583 in his PG debut with a 43-percent line drive
rate. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9157
