Mark Appel, RH, Stanford
10-4, 2.12 ERA, 130 K, 23 BB, 106⅓ IP
The No. 8 overall pick last year returned for his senior year and didn't disappoint.

Recruited to play both football and baseball at Texas A&M.
Braden Shipley, RH, Nevada

Hard thrower was the top prospect in the Alaska League last summer.
Ryne Stanek, RH, Arkansas
