ESPN writer Andrew Knepper has a great entry today on the top players in the Area Code games. He puts Ian Krol as one of the top pitching prospects as he throws an 88 MPH fastball and has been outstanding in Long Beach. Chad James is the top left-handed pitcher with his deceptive motion where he reaches 88 MPH with a very good curveball that has a good break ball at 73-76. The top hitting and catching prospect is 15 year old Bryce Harper who has been throwing out a ton of runners this week and hitting the ball a ton. The full article from Knepper is available here.
