Round 13 - 398th overall. RHP Bo Bonds - Louisiana-Lafayette. Bats Right, Throws Right. 5-foot-11, 200 pounds. Born January 10, 2001.
Baseball America - After a successful season at Chipola (Fla.) JC, Bonds transferred to Louisiana-Lafayette, where he had piled up plenty of strikeouts (83 in 55 innings) thanks to an extremely lively 91-93 mph fastball. He manages to get above hitters bats, although he's not always particularly pitch efficient. His fastball/curve combination will likely work best in pro ball in a relief role.

Tieran @Tieran711 Michael Turconi is a patient hitter with above average contact rates. He has very little power but he has some of the best launch and spray and control in the entire draft while avoiding mishits. Utility type who could become really interesting if he adds stength.

Carlos Collazo @CarlosACollazo Jeremy Pilon is currently 16 years old and turns 17 in September. I am assuming no one younger will be drafted.

Round 20 - 608th overall. OF Gregory Pace Jr. - Detroit Edison Academy. Bats Right, Throws Right. 6-foot-2, 187 pounds. Born August 3, 2004 .
MLB.com - Pace is one of the fastest players in the Draft, but most scouts think his bat isn't ready for pro ball. He ran a 6.21-second 60-yard dash and showed some raw right-handed power in batting practice at the East Coast Pro showcase last summer, but his uphill swing doesn't produce a lot of results in game action. He'd be best off refining his hitting skills and center-field instincts at Michigan rather than signing now.
Baseball America - Pace Jr. has huge tools and a great frame at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds that should add plenty of strength in the future. He’s a premium runner and turned in the best 60-yard dash time at East Coast Pro, clocking a 6.23-second run time—an 80-grade result. He has plus arm strength as well and should be able to provide above-average defense in the outfield at any position, with more than enough speed to stick in center. Offensively, there are more questions. Some scouts have called his swing low maintenance and noted some progression over the summer showcase circuit as he adjusted to the premium velocity and stuff he saw regularly. Most scouts still wonder about how much he will hit at the next level. His performance over the circuit wasn’t great, he showed rigid movements at times and has plenty of swing and miss. Because of those bat questions and a perceived hard commitment to Michigan, Pace might get to campus and try and prove his hitting ability in the Big Ten. Still, his upside, tools and youth (he turns 18 just after the draft) make him an intriguing upside pick.
