4. Chase Vallot, St. Thomas More (Lafayette, La.)Vallot
was big reason why St. Thomas More won the Class 4A state championship
in Louisiana. He batted .545 (54-for-99) with 45 runs scored, 15 doubles
and 13 home runs. He had 25 home runs in two varsity seasons.
What the scouts say:
Scouts like Vallot's power, which has been on display for the past two
years. Will need to work on his play behind the plate, which could mean a
move to another position in the future.
Where he will go: Look for Vallot to go somewhere in the second or third round.
