June 5, 201214 yr Author 3rd Round Pick (#109) -Dan Langfield, RHP, Memphis Scouting Report Fastball: Works 92-94 MPH and can touch 97. Slider: More of an average pitch that is still a work in progress. Curveball: An above-average pitch that he uses as his out pitch. Control: He has had his fair share of walks while at Memphis, but that came as a starter while throwing three pitches. He is likely to wind up in the bullpen, where he would focus on two pitches and could improve his control. Another Langfield vid, shows very nice compact mechanics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srRYcm2Wp9w&feature=player_embedded
June 5, 201214 yr Author Good read on the Reds 2nd Round Pick Full Count » Potential Red Sox draft picks: Tanner Rahier .394/.464/.639 18 doubles, four triples and four home runs in 155 at-bats. Rahier is a line drive hitter who hits on a level swing plane. While Rahier will likely be more of a gap hitter than a home run hitter, his good bat speed gives him decent pull power, which has led some reports to project him as a player capable of around 20 home runs per year. In the field, Rahier is known for his strong arm strength, which could help him transition to third base. As a pitcher, Rahier can throw a fastball up to 93 mph, but his primary focus as a player will likely be in the field and in the batter’s box. According to Perfect Game, Rahier has drawn comparisons to Evan Longoria due to his physical features as well as tools as a player. Rahier is likely to move over to Longoria’s position at third base due to his size, and he could represent a consideration for the Red Sox with one of their first-round picks (Nos. 24 and 31). Baseball America describes Rahier as a player who approaches the game with tremendous intensity. The publication cited a scout who said of Rahier, “He plays like a bat out of hell — he’s like Pete Rose.”

Inside he discusses his pitching arsenal and approach on the mound, pitching in the Cape Cod League and much more. Rays Digest: Can you tell me a little bit about your pitching arsenal? What types of pitches do you throw and at what speeds? Jon Moscot: I throw a four-seam fastball that is between 90-93 and can get up to 94. My two-seam is 89-91. My changeup, which is a circle change goes 79-80. My split-finger is 80-83 and slider is 79-84. Against a right-handed batter, I’ll use the slider as the “out” pitch. Against a lefty, I’ll throw the split-finger.
