Ricky Manning

OF Ricky Manning is Northern California's best athlete--and one of the best in the country--but his signability is a major issue and could slide him out of the early rounds. He is one of UCLA's top football recruits. Manning's best tool is his speed. He runs the 40 in a lightning-quick 4.3 seconds and his style of play is similar to Kenny Lofton. He can go get balls in center field and is a slasher, though at this stage of his career his bat is suspect.
