Year: 2009

Since I had a few minutes this morning, I decided to take a look at the Eligibility chart for 2009…

In Part I of the six part series on covering the 2009 Draft, I gave brief scouting reports over the well-known names in amateur baseball. Strasburg remains at the top and is having an unbelievable Junior year (.172 BAA, 74 K/7 BB in 34.1 IP). Part II features the top athlete in the draft followed by two very projectable arms and two pitchers that have experienced quite a bit of controversy within the past year.

6. Donovan Tate, OF, GA (HS)

Son of former NFL running back, Lars Tate, Donovan has is a genetic freak and arguably the best athlete in the draft. As a football player, he is a 4-star prospect according to Rivals.com and rated the 5th best athlete in the country. As a baseball player, he is the type of specimen which comes around once every five or ten years. He has plus bat-speed and is an absolute ballhawk in the outfield.
