2010 Was A Banner Season for Prospects Scouted on STS
While working on my piece ranking the top third base prospects in the “Sally”, I began wondering how much interest would a piece about five teenage third base prospects generate on the cusp of the World Series. Lately, I’ve been pondering the future of the site and how to take a small, South Atlantic League based site to a national prospect audience.

Both bat and throw from the left side, have similar size, and are almost identical in age. When watching Rizzo in [...]

Game Report: Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves
Originally posted on BaseballHandyman.com 9/2/08 Freddie Freeman (0-7, 4 K) – Freddie Freeman seems to have come out of nowhere as a 2nd round pick in the 2007 draft to become arguably the 2nd best hitter in the Braves organization behind Jason Heyward.
