Pick	Player	School	Pos	B/T	Ht	Wt	DOB	Class
26	Arnett, Eric	Indiana U	RHP	R/R	6'05"	230	1988-01-25	JR
Comments: One of the biggest late risers in the Draft class, Arnett is a big right-hander who put himself into first-round consideration with a breakout junior season. He's got an above-average fastball and a slider that, while inconsistent, could be an out pitch as well. He struggles at times with his release point and arm angle, which hurts the effectiveness of the slider. He's come a long way in a short time, and the lack of track record may make some pause, as will the high pitch counts he had late in the year. But if he can develop an effective offspeed pitch, he's the kind of workhorse who could be a future No. 2 or 3 starter in the big leagues. Enhanced Scouting Report
39	Davis, Kentrail	U Tennessee	CF	L/R	5'09"	195	1988-06-29	SO
Comments: The sophomore-eligible outfielder has not followed up on his strong freshman year, but he's still going to gain a lot of interest as the spring wears on. A fireplug of an outfielder, he's got above-average raw power, though he's struggled to get to it this season. He's currently playing center, but the prevailing thought is that he's a left fielder in the future. Once moved to a corner, the bat and his power become that much more important. If a team feels this season is just a matter of him trying to do too much, they'll bet on that bat pretty early. Enhanced Scouting Report
47	Heckathorn, Kyle	Kennesaw St U	RHP	R/R	6'06"	223	1988-06-17	JR
Comments: Heckathorn is sure to be fairly high on everyone's list, thanks to his size, strength and pure power aresenal. He can pump his fastball up into the mid-to-upper 90s, has a hard slider to go along with it and generally throws strikes. The one puzzling thing for the right-hander has been that he hasn't dominated his competition or missed bats as much as you'd expect with that stuff. His size and stuff will ensure he's off the board before long, but he might be a half-step behind the upper-echelon college arms this year. Enhanced Scouting Report
73	Walla, Maxwell	Albuquerque Academy (NM)	RF	L/L	5'11"	195	1991-04-12	HS
Comments: Every draft seems to have some high school players who are just plain hitters. Walla is one of those in 2009. Not the biggest guy in the world, he's stronger than you'd think and should hit for at least average power in the future. He can't run, so he'll be limited to a corner OF spot, but he's got the arm for it and should have more than enough bat as well. A really good student with plus makeup, he maximizes the tools he does have and could be a middle-of-the-order corner bat in the future. Enhanced Scouting Report
74	Garfield, Cameron	Murrieta Valley HS (CA)	C	R/R	6'00"	192	1991-05-23	HS
Comments: Garfield is one more from the deep crop of high school catchers in this class. While an ankle injury threw him off and kept him from catching for a chunk of the season, scouts know all about his excellent catch-and-throw skills behind the plate. He does have some ability with the bat, though he sometimes tries to swing too big to get to some power. He admittedly struggled for much of his senior season, but healthy at the end, he was improving his Draft stock with impressive workouts for teams once his season was over. Enhanced Scouting Report
