Jay Bruce OF, 6-2, 200, L/L, West
Brook (TX) HS
Bruce is an intriguing athlete. He has
to be considered a legitimate 5 tool prospect at this point. He has a
quick bat to the ball and finishes his swing with some lift extension.
He makes hard contact, with an exit speed off wood at 97 mph on one of
his base hits. In BP he showed some of his current power that will
someday make him a 30 home run hitter. From the outfield he showed the
top arm at the event, reaching up to 89 mph. He goes after the ball
hard and with some coaching in the skill of route running, he could be
a Gold Glove type right fielder. He did not run a 60 due to his back
giving him some trouble this weekend, but I got him at 4.34 and 4.36
on two occasions home to first. On top of all of his tangible assets
as a player, he plays extremely hard, running out every ball and
seemingly playing each game like it could be his last. He has verbally
committed to Tulane, which may affect how high he goes
in June.

PG REPORT: Kwan
is a young 2005 catcher and another very advanced arm in the Sunshine
West showcase. He is well ahead of the normal '05 grad in size and
strength and it showed here. At 6 foot 3 and 205 pounds he handled
himself well behind the plate. He showed a real nice arm with 78 mph
velocity and 1.86 and 1.87 pop times. He gets the ball to the bag in a
hurry and looked good doing it. He can also hit and hit with power. He
showed good bat-speed and good deep power to the warning track on a
big field. The only thing he showed his age with was his pitch
selection. He wanted to hit everything in every count. He showed us he
can do it and it will be fun watching this top prospect in the 2005
class ! Good student.

Slick fielder with very
good hands and an easy projectable approach at the plate.
William (Scooter)
Hicks – Houston Christian (Tx) – LHP- 5’10”, 170
Throws 85-87mph with a good curve,
change up, his strength is control and smarts for the game. He is 2x
all state recipient as a sophomore and junior, and the Team MVP Junior
year. He played for the Houston Heat, and started 2 games in the WWBA
Championships in Florida including the Championship Game. He chose
Tulane over Georgia Tech, Baylor, TCU, Kansas State, New Mexico, and
Texas State.
From Perfect Game (link):
PG REPORT: Hicks
is an "05" LHP/1B from Houston, TX. At 5'10/160 he has a nice lean
athletic frame that projects to gain strength. On the mound he shows
skills to develop as a good college lefty. His arm from a 3/4 slot
works fairly good with good use of his body. He located well and has a
very good mound presence. He works with a high leg kick and throws a
little across his body. He likes to work low, while challenging
hitters. His fastball was low 80s with nice arm-side run, but can
become better with some loosening of the arm and better overall
mechanics. He throws his curve at low 60s with 1-7 rotation and a
tight spin with some depth. He will work a cutter in on the hands of a
right handed hitter at 70-71. His change at 70mph shows good sinking
action. At the plate he carries his hands high and uses an inside-out
approach. Mostly a contact type hitter at this time with wood. Scooter
could really develop into an excellent college lefty and he is an
outstanding student.
