Comments on: 2011 MLB Draft Prospect: UCLA RHSP Gerrit Cole – Proceed With Caution http://baseballdraftreport.com/2010/03/04/ucla-rhsp-gerrit-cole-proceed-with-caution/ Obsessively Following the MLB Draft Since 2009 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:54:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Rob Ozga http://baseballdraftreport.com/2010/03/04/ucla-rhsp-gerrit-cole-proceed-with-caution/#comment-1786 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:33:26 +0000 http://baseballdraftreport.com/?p=929#comment-1786 Thanks a ton, appreciate the compliment. As for Bauer, well, what can I say? He is THE story at practically any other team in the country, but will forever be stuck in Cole’s shadow at UCLA. Luckily, you and I (and about 30 scouting directors) know that the Bruins’ second banana is still a first round quality arm. My notes on Bauer:

SO RHP Trevor Bauer (2011): FB sits 90-91, peak 92-93; scouts see the potential for a plus CB, but I think the pitch is already there; CU shows promise; funky mechanics have been compared to Tim Lincecum’s, but the way he throws and his varied arm slots remind me of a young, good Orlando Hernandez

Oh, and how can you not love the way he matched Cole strikeout for strikeout this weekend?

Can we talk more about Trevor Bauer now…

I am enjoying the daily read of your website. Keep up the good work.
