Helped Team USA win the 18U World Championships last summer. At Mater Dei last spring, he hit .388, had only two errors and threw out six of 10 runners trying to steal second.
Austin Meadows | OF | 6-3, 200 | Grayson (Loganville, Ga.). | Clemson
Five-tool player with great speed, Meadows batted .390 with 28 RBI and 19 stolen bases last year.
Oscar Mercado | SS | 6-1, 175 | Gaither (Tampa, Fla.) | Florida State
Hit .370 with 29 RBI and 12 stolen bases last year but is even better known for his fielding.
Andrew Rosa | SS | 6-2, 175 | Owasso (Okla.) | Oklahoma State

Jordan Sheffield | RHP-UT | 6-3, 195 | Tullahoma (Tenn.) | Vanderbilt
Hard thrower had a 0.99 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 50 innings as a junior. Also batted .373 with five homers.

Batted .551 with nine homers and 49 RBI last year. As a pitcher, Smith went 7-1 with a 1.22 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 34.1 innings
Kohl Stewart | RHP-UT | 6-3, 185 | Pius X (Houston) | Texas A&M
Has a 95 mph fastball and good breaking ball. Stewart led Pius X to the TAPPS state title in 2012, going 8-0 with a 1.93 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 54.1 innings. Stewart is also a top quarterback recruit.
Thoughts: I'm thinking my Jordan Sheffield PC will become a sellable prospect stash in a couple months.
I would have thought Meadows had better HS numbers. I had never looked at them, but now that I have, they are a bit 'meh' in terms of going 1/1. I understand he is more of a showcase performer and will probably go in the 1-3 overall range, but frankly .388 struck me as low.
Any notables missing? I'm not sure this is so public a thing (even withing being associate with USAToday) to see a spike, but it at least shows some common perception on the top guys.
