LSU outfielder Johnny Dishon was named the No. 2 prospect in the Valley Baseball Leauge in Baseball America's Top 10 summer league rankings. "Dishon, in the words of one scout, might have been "the most talented outfielder in the Valley" this year. He redshirted last spring, but Dishon revealed his five-tool potential this summer when he hit .304 with 11 doubles, four home runs and 19 stolen bases in as many attempts. He showed good pop with his compact and powerful stroke, although his plate discipline needs work, as he struck out in nearly one-third of his plate appearances. He is also a plus runner with a very good throwing arm that would suit him well in right field. Dishon has obvious present tools to go along with an athletic 5-foot-11, 185-pound build, but he still needs to develop his knowledge of the game, which he will try to do as a redshirt sophomore at LSU next spring." - Baseball America
Braves first baseman Todd Brazeal (South Florida) was named the No. 6 prospect in the VBL.
"A Freshman All-American last spring, Brazeal is a savvy hitter with plus raw power, demonstrated by his .495 slugging percentage and impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio (36-to-32) in his first year with the Bulls. He showed a similar proficiency with a wood bat this summer, belting eight home runs for Staunton and compiling a .507 slugging mark. Brazeal has some length in his swing, but he has advanced pitch recognition. He is a solid defender at first base with good athleticism for his size (6-foot-3, 225 pounds), a soft glove and quick feet that could also play at a corner outfield position. He also draws praise for his instinctive play and good work ethic. " - Baseball America
