The fastball is only projectable if you think Gowdy's body is

• Phillies: Moniak and righthander Kevin Gowdy aren’t overly physical, but the two Southern California prep products have a chance to join the Phillies’ rebuild fairly quickly for prep players. Moniak has a special bat and motor, according to most scouts who have seen him, while Gowdy has one of the cleanest arms in the draft in terms of ease of operation and a feel for his craft. If his velocity becomes more consistently average to above-average, look out.

No Nebraska high school position player ever has been selected in the top two rounds or 60 picks in the Draft, but Stobbe could become the first this June. He's an infielder with a chance to have average or better tools across the board once he moves off shortstop, and scouts love his makeup as well. He has a track record of performing on the biggest amateur stages, helped Team USA win a gold medal at the 18-and-under World Cup in Japan last September and led Millard West (Omaha) to the Nebraska Class A championship game while earning Gatorade state player of the year honors this spring. With his quick, compact right-handed stroke, Stobbe laces line drives to all fields. He added some strength before his senior season and drove the ball more consistently this spring, finishing among the national high school leaders with 14 home runs. He could be a .280 hitter with 15-18 homers per year in the big leagues. An average runner with good instincts on the bases and in the field, Stobbe lacks the quickness and arm strength to play shortstop in pro ball. He should be able to handle the offensive and defensive responsibilities at either second or third base. One scout called the Arkansas recruit a poor man's version of Rockies rookie sensation Trevor Story, who was a supplemental first-rounder as a Texas high schooler in 2011.

Frankie Piliere:
Like him a lot. The bat is going to be one of the best in this prep class and the hands really work on defense.

#Phillies take Cole Stobbe. Really advanced bat, may end up at third base but power projects and excellent bat speed

Eric Longenhagen ‏@longenhagen 3m3 minutes ago
Cole Stobbe: well rounded skillset, nothing exceptionally loud, probably moves to third base but solid athlete w/ 50/50 hit/power potential.

Christopher Crawford ‏@CVCrawfordBP 4m4 minutes ago San Diego, CA
#Phillies third-rounder Cole Stobbe is similar to Nick Senzel; third baseman who will hit for average and a little bit of pop.

Nathan Rode ‏@NathanRode 6m6 minutes ago
#Phillies, 3rd round: SS Cole Stobbe (NE). Quick bat, solid tools across the board. Probably moves to 3B. Arkansas recruit. #mlbdraft
