Name This Prospect, Part VIII

[Jaypers]

This prospect made his debut in the BA Prospect Handbook at # 19 on his team's Top 30 list two years ago. Highlights from his scouting report included:

- Former member of USA Baseball's Youth and Jr. National teams.
- Attracted strong interest from many teams for abilities on the mound with two plus pitches -- FB and slider.
- Worked as a closer in HS, but always preferred to be a position player (where he currently plays).
- Only 17 when drafted.
- Above average power with a smooth stroke from the left side.
- Displays good footwork at his position and excellent reactions.
- Has an exceedingly strong arm for his position.


I think I made it sufficiently hard enough this time. Name this kid!

Jaypers - Don't let it get you down. Just goes to show that there's a lot of knowledge on these boards. Lot of knowledge.

Yeah right, he fished out his old prospect handbook and looked for the #19 prospect! J.P., next time don't tell which handbook its out of. Just say he was a former # whatever prospect. Don't say for either the organization or overall, etc. That will make it a little harder

The reason why I mentioned which handbook each prospect debuted in is because most people are at work at this time of day and I'm guessing don't have older copies of it with them.

Perhaps one clue at a time until someone guesses?
