Danny Cepeda - Tamiami Outlaws (FL) - Maybe the sleeper in the bunch, Danny shined in the ever tough South Florida competition.
Casey Kelly - Inside KC Sports Blues (KS) - Casey is a repeat AA player and probably the best shortstop/pitchers in the Midwest as evident by his selection to the USA Baseball 2010 NTIS in Cary, NC.

Cole Tucker - Arizona Dessert Blaze (AZ) - SS- Cole has the tools needed to be a great shortstop - excellent feet, soft hands and a big arm. Offensively he swings the bat from the left side to hit for a .513 average in addition to collecting 64 walks to make him a great leadoff hitter.
Julian Cox - Beaver Valley Red - A six foot tall center fielder? If you're Julian then it is possible as he is one of the nation's best athletes. He is also a force at the plate - hitting an impressive .548 with 16 homeruns. With a75 mph fastball, and a nasty hook, Julian has become a very dominating pitcher.
Brendan Rogers - Diamondback Baseball (FL) - TBS had Mr. Rogers on the Players to Watch List and if you got a chance to watch him, he excelled. Brenden was part of a one, two punch that put fear in opposing teams.
Michael Palos - Tomoteros & Lamorinda Cougars (CA) - Michael is recognized as one of the top players in California regardless of which team he plays for during the year.

Drew Buckholtz - Hard Core Baseball (GA) - Some say Drew is the best catcher in the Southeast. TBS says he is one of the best in the country. He has a strong arm, great bat and can get up on the bump and dominate.
Blake Hamilton - Georgia Legends (GA) - This right handed pitcher impressed many coaches across the country with his ability to compete at the highest level on a good but not quite yet elite team.
Rodney Hutchinson & Jeremiah Johnson - Westchester Sluggers (OH) - At 5"8 and 155 lbs, Rodney is another pitcher/catcher who swings a nice stick and can control a game on while on the mound or behind the plate. Jeremiah is the bookend to Rodney as far as size at 5'8 165lbs. He too toes the rubber but brings it from the left side. He is over-powering and relies on the 'heat' to collect outs.
