Report Card Day

Baseball America has reached the NL Central and the Milwaukee Brewers in their '09 draft report cards. It's all behind their subscriber wall, but to share just a bit without calling down the thunder of their lawyers...

BEST PURE HITTER: OF Kentrail Davis (1s) had a disappointing spring, but he got back on track in instructional league.

BEST POWER HITTER: Davis and OFs Max Walla (2), D'Vontrey Richardson (5), Khris Davis (7) and Demetrius McKelvie (25) all have plus raw power. Kentrail Davis and Walla should have the most usable pop down the road.

BEST FASTBALL: RHPs Eric Arnett (1) and Kyle Heckathorn (1s) both sit at 91-94 mph, with Arnett topping out at 97 and Heckathorn peaking at 98. RHP Brooks Hall (4) already reaches 95 mph and has a lot of projection remaining on his 6-foot-5 frame.

BEST SECONDARY PITCH: Arnett's mid-80s slider grades as a plus-plus pitch at times. Heckathorn's slider has more velocity but less consistency.
