    At the outset of the season, Corley was a candidate to be a first-round pick, but he'll be lucky to go in the first five rounds. He's as toolsy as any player in the state, with a power arm suited for right field and enough juice in his bat to profile for the spot. He hasn't shown much power after coming back from a broken thumb last summer, however. After hitting 19 homers as a sophomore, he had just three homers this spring. Scouts were concerned about the lack of a power load in his swing for the move to wood bats.
