Tall, athletic, left-handed and strong, Anthony Bryant got himself attention at the Area Codes when he plastered a ball to right field in BP, one of the hardest hit BP balls of that session.

As we continue our early look at the June 2010 draft here in September 2009, here’s a look at some of the outfielders to follow. As with our pitchers and infielders list, this is a follow sheet and not a ranking service. We’ll give you the basics and let the kids be the final say on what players they become.

Twenty games, 153 innings and eight gazillion notes taken by eight gazillion scouts. The Area Code Games completed with several players doing a little bit of a lot of things. Baseball Beginnings never missed a pitch.

If there is an Opening Day for the Draft season, today is it. The morning and early afternoon batting practice sessions have been completed and the 2009 Area Code Games are under way at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif., and the 2010 Major League Draft is now on the clock.
Scanning the scouting highlights from the morning sessions, in which some 200 hitters participated, here is a handful of noteworthy performers.
The hardest hit ball of the six-hour BP session was possibly hit by Anthony Bryant of Connally HS of Pflugerville, Texas. A left-handed hitter listed at 6-3, 215, Bryant got his loose and easy swing into a pitch to drive it on a solid line off the right-field scoreboard, just to the right of the 387-foot marker.
