josh_leyland1.jpgOakland’s 16th round selection is a big C/1B from San Dimas, California.  Josh Leyland comes in at a powerful 6′3, 230, and has a big bat that accompanies him.

He once had 3 HR and 10 RBI one game, says his High School Coach Mike Regan, and has apparently been given a Scholarship to play for the Washington State Cougars next year, making this a gamble.

He has a 2.9 GPA, and the left-handed batter hit 4 Homeruns at the 2009 International High School Power Showcase Home Run Derby as the Californian representative.

Leyland smashed 4 Homers with metal bats, including one that traveled 472 feet at Tropicana Field.

He sports a pop-up time of 1.9 behind the plate, and appeared on three Elite Camps in 2008, for the Dodgers, Brewers and Rays.

pat_stover1.jpgPat Stover is a 6′4 outfielder with a .451 Batting Average, and 15 extra-base hits.  

He struck out 15 times in 98 appearances, and is a standout with the basketball program at Rocklin High School as well.

He missed the first week of baseball season for State Basketball games. 

Stover "loves baseball but could not live without basketball."

He has a scholarship in his name at Santa Clara, but after hitting above .430 in his last two years of High School, he may be ready for professional baseball.
