[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, here are the expected Corona MLB picks and where they will be drafted in July:

7. Marlins: Seth Hernandez, RHP, Corona (Calif.) HS (No. 5)
Hernandez is interesting as a right fielder with well-above-average raw power and arm strength -- and more interesting as a projectable righty who can reach 98 mph with his fastball and spin a wipeout curveball.

14. Rays: Billy Carlson, SS/RHP, Corona (Calif.) HS (No. 12)
Though Carlson flashes a mid-90s fastball and a plus curveball, he's more attractive as a shortstop who could wind up with five solid-or-better tools.

20. Brewers: Brady Ebel, SS, Corona (Calif.) HS (No. 25)
The son of Dodgers third-base coach Dino has enviable bat-to-ball skills and an incredibly accurate arm. This would give Corona three first-rounders in the same first round, something no high school has ever accomplished.

Can you imagine showing up to tryout for a HS baseball team and learn that 3 of the players are 1st round MLB draft picks?

Of course, nobody shows up at Corona HS and doesn't know about their baseball team.

Aren't you just proving the other poster's point? 99.99% of high school baseball players will never have the tools that these guys have.

Seth Hernandez - 6'4 and throws 95 MPH plus

Billy Carlson - 6'1 and throws 95 MPH Plus

Brady Ebel - 6'3 and throws 95 MPH plus. And not too mention, his dad is a coach for the freaking LA Dodgers. lol

Being 6'1 + and throwing 95 is basically winning the genetic lottery. You can't learn to throw 95 the same way you can't learn to shoot like Steph Curry. [/quote]
