OREGON CLASS OF 2012 TOP 25

Baseball Northwest’s ranking of Northwest players is done to highlight the regions’ top prospects as evaluated by the Baseball Northwest professional evaluators. It is done to promote and inspire players and also to promote the game. Some college and high school coaches, and professional scouts are consulted but the final lists are put together by the Baseball Northwest staff as a whole. The lists do not reflect the opinion of any specific high school, college, or professional organization.

The evaluaters consider the LONG TERM POTENTIAL OF A PLAYER, the potential of a player at the next level, and not necessarily the success or stats of a high school player.

All players listed have been thouroughly seen by the Baseball Northwest staff to be evaluated—even if the player has not attended a Baseball Northwest event, although nearly all have done so. Baseball Northwest understands the difficulty in ranking players, but no one sees all these players as much as the Baseball Northwest staff. Players develop at different rates and at different times. The complete ability of the player is considered, including their desire to play and improve, because this has proven to make a difference in their long term development.

Players are generally listed at the position or positions they will likely play at the next level. BBNW has a history of tracking the top players. We consider many more players than appear on our lists. The Watch List sections are those players we are considering for the top player section. We have likely missed a player that should be considered—we will add or subtract from the list throughout the year.

Please email us if you would like to recommend a player in any class for consideration. Enjoy the lists—it takes many hours to complete. Rely on Baseball Northwest for information found no-where else. Please obtain permission from Baseball Northwest for reproduction of all or any parts of this information.

CLASS OF 2011 IDAHO/MONTANA/WYOMING TOP 30

Baseball Northwest’s ranking of Northwest players is done to highlight the regions’ top prospects as evaluated by the Baseball Northwest professional evaluators. It is done to promote and inspire players and also to promote the game. Some college and high school coaches, and professional scouts are consulted but the final lists are put together by the Baseball Northwest staff as a whole. The lists do not reflect the opinion of any specific high school, college, or professional organization.

The evaluaters consider the LONG TERM POTENTIAL OF A PLAYER, the potential of a player at the next level, and not necessarily the success or stats of a high school player.

All players listed have been thouroughly seen by the Baseball Northwest staff to be evaluated—even if the player has not attended a Baseball Northwest event, although nearly all have done so. Baseball Northwest understands the difficulty in ranking players, but no one sees all these players as much as the Baseball Northwest staff. Players develop at different rates and at different times. The complete ability of the player is considered, including their desire to play and improve, because this has proven to make a difference in their long term development.

Players are generally listed at the position or positions they will likely play at the next level. BBNW has a history of tracking the top players. We consider many more players than appear on our lists. The Watch List sections are those players we are considering for the top player section. We have likely missed a player that should be considered—we will add or subtract from the list throughout the year.

Please email us if you would like to recommend a player in any class for consideration. Enjoy the lists—it takes many hours to complete. Rely on Baseball Northwest for information found no-where else. Please obtain permission from Baseball Northwest for reproduction of all or any parts of this information.

Washington Class of 2010 Top 60

Our Washington class of 2010 top 60 list is considered average to above average for its overall ability compared to the last few years. We have found it to be deeper in overall potential as the lower end of it was more difficult to compile. We do 60 compared to the Oregon and Idaho/Montana list of 30 because of its larger number of players in Washington. It is roughly 4 to 5 times the amount in Washington than the other two areas.

It is the first time we have had three primarily position players prospects in the top 3 slots.  Usually we have a pitcher in there somewhere or at the top. Pitchers still dominate the total list with nearly half of the 60 likely to be pitcher only type players at the next level. It is unusual to have one left handed pitcher in the top 25 with Cam Boozer at number six. Right handed pitcher Scott Schultz made the biggest jump from last year…moving from the watch list all the way to #4.

The biggest controversy and discussion this spring will be about the top three players. We have kept (from our list last year) Drew Vettleson at #1 because of his versatility, overall ability and offensive approach.  When we break down Drew’s swing mechanically—he shows a more projectable upside natural swing. Vettleson is much better defensively and likely will play right field at the next level.

Josh Sale is ranked higher by Baseball America because of his bat potential and production at the Area Code Games and World Wood Bat Tournament. But both are in Baseball America’s top 25 class of 2010 top prospect list. He is much stronger and shows more power now, but we see him needing to make more adjustments for top level success. Josh has limits defensively—and will likely end up in leftfield in professional baseball. Some have compared him to Travis Snider from three years ago as the #1 player on our list that is now in the major leagues with Toronto, but we disagree because the offensive approach is much different. We will do a more detailed scouting report on them later on the web site and in our Baseball Northwest newspaper.

Most scouts expect Brett Ryan to move to second base or centerfield in professional baseball should he chose that route out of high school.  Scouts see him as an over achiever makeup with good ability to use his speed and contact skills at the plate to eventually bypass Vettleson or Sale in the long run.

Baseball Northwest’s ranking of Northwest players is done to highlight the regions’ top prospects as evaluated by the Baseball Northwest professional evaluators. It is done to promote and inspire players and also to promote the game. Some college and high school coaches, and professional scouts are consulted but the final lists are put together by the Baseball Northwest staff as a whole. The lists do not reflect the opinion of any specific high school, college, or professional organization.

The evaluaters consider the LONG TERM POTENTIAL OF A PLAYER, the potential of a player at the next level, and not necessarily the success or stats of a high school player.

Oregon Class of 2010 Top 30

We just released our Oregon class of 2010 top 30 player list. In its overall abilities of the players I consider the list average to slightly below.  It is typically dominated by pitching—especially right-handed pitching—and is again this year.

It is void of as many upside athletes as there ahs been in the last few years (especially last year with Pearson, Poyer, Nylen, and Urness).  Wetzler held his top spot from last year but was hindered a lot in his development this summer with injuries, but we felt like no one else stepped up to take that spot.

The top 20 did not change much in names but some in order.  Not sure what that means…did we have it that much right last year?  Right handed pitcher Brad Shipley and right handed pitcher Tom Zarosinski made the biggest jumps on the list. New to the list are Reser, Metcalf, Swinford, Kaiser, Paxton, and Dean.

10 of the top 18 have signed letter of intents last week in the early signing period with OSU—Wetzler, Kendall, Drury, Zaronski, and Moeller.

University of Portland made an impact with the signing of Nice, Cornish, and Gill. Nice and Cornish showed improvement on our fall scout teams this fall.

I hope it is not a trend that the University of Oregon doesn’t sign an Oregon player. In fact the Ducks did not sign any Northwest players.  Hopefully that will change in April for the next signing period.

More of this list will make Division 1 commitments next spring. Remember last spring right-handed pitcher Sam Gaviglo from Ashland High School did not sign until late May and turned into the Beaver’s ace at the end of the year as a freshman.

Baseball Northwest’s ranking of Northwest players is done to highlight the regions’ top prospects as evaluated by the Baseball Northwest professional evaluators. It is done to promote and inspire players and also to promote the game. Some college and high school coaches, and professional scouts are consulted but the final lists are put together by the Baseball Northwest staff as a whole. The lists do not reflect the opinion of any specific high school, college, or professional organization.

The evaluaters consider the LONG TERM POTENTIAL OF A PLAYER, the potential of a player at the next level, and not necessarily the success or stats of a high school player.

All players listed have been thouroughly seen by the Baseball Northwest staff to be evaluated—even if the player has not attended a Baseball Northwest event, although nearly all have done so. Baseball Northwest understands the difficulty in ranking players, but no one sees all these players as much as the Baseball Northwest staff. Players develop at different rates and at different times. The complete ability of the player is considered, including their desire to play and improve, because this has proven to make a difference in their long term development.

Players are generally listed at the position or positions they will likely play at the next level. BBNW has a history of tracking the top players. We consider many more players than appear on our lists. The Watch List sections are those players we are considering for the top player section. We have likely missed a player that should be considered—we will add or subtract from the list throughout the year.

Please email us if you would like to recommend a player in any class for consideration. Enjoy the lists—it takes many hours to complete. Rely on Baseball Northwest for information found no-where else. Please obtain permission from Baseball Northwest for reproduction of all or any parts of this information.

Sale Continues to Impress

Josh Sale continued to impress major league scouts at last months World Wood Bat Championships in Jupiter, Florida. Sale, from Bishop Blanchet HS in Seattle, displayed his keen eye and outstanding power at the nations premier showcase event. Josh is considered one of the best pure high school hitters in the country. Hundreds of college coaches and professional scouts were on hand to witness his hitting display. Josh (#10) is one of two northwest players listed as a top 25 high school prospect by Baseball America. Central Kitsap’s Drew Vettleson (#25) also made the BA list. Vettleson and Sale are ranked #1 and #2 respectively in the latest Baseball Northwest player rankings.
