925 SIGNED JARED WELLS TYLER JC RHP S/R 6'3" 198 10/31/1981 JR COMMENT: "We think Wells was the No. 1 pitcher on the No. 1 junior college team in the country," said Padres scouting director Bill Gayton. Wells, the team's 31st-round draft pick last season out of Tyler (Texas) JC, transferred to San Jacinto this season and led the Gators into the National Junior College Athletic Association title game against Southern Nevada. The Lamar signee's fastball was clocked at 97 mph this season.

1015 WILLIAM SILVESTRI DIXIE COL RHP R/R 6'1" 175 07/08/1981 JR 56k | 300k COMMENT: Medium-large, narrow frame. Good delivery, long fluid arm. Arm speed through high 3/4 slot. Good finish. Confident with lively fastball. Nothing straight, natural right-handed running, sinking life to both sides of the plate. Feel for change-up, deceptive out of hand. Tough vs. lefties. Control and command of fastball and change-up.

1165 SCOTT LONERGAN POWAY HS RHP S/R 6'4" 200 12/06/1983 HS 56k | 300k COMMENT: Long torso, long arms and legs. Three-quarter delivery and loose arm action. Near average velocity. Occasionally boring, sinking movement to righties on fastball. Curve breaks downward when stays on top. Fairly deceptive circle change. Challenges hitters. Great makeup, very mature 18-year-old.
1195 DANIEL FITCH MT CARMEL HS C R/R 6'2" 180 11/03/1983 HS COMMENT: Projectable athletic frame. Long arm, lean muscle structure, similar to Mike Lieberthal. Solid, average arm strength with on-line acceleration. Fair release time. Solid foundation, agile behind plate. Hands have really improved. Level, compact stroke. Fair bat speed through zone. Fair contact. Catch-and-throw guy. Also pitches. Team leader, football quarterback.

Quick, long arm acceleration through release point with extension. Poised around plate. Curve offers occasional bite. Fastball touches average velocity, early movement.
