    Waring has blistered the ball this spring at Wofford but is more of a mature-bodied, muscular player. He slugged 10 homers as a freshman in 2005, and he hit four more last year before breaking his wrist in early March. He has plus bat speed and plus raw power, which he showed off during a series against Georgia Tech by smoking a pair of home runs to the opposite field. Waring ranked among the nation's leaders in on-base plus slugging percentage at 1.388. He's a dead-red fastball hitter and his swing has holes. He's especially susceptible to breaking balls down and away.
