    In a down year for catchers, Rick Guarno is a sleeper for the first 10 rounds. A transfer from Maryland-Baltimore County, he wowed opponents all season long. He homered off Florida International ace Josh Banks and showed good gap power, ranking third in NCAA Division I with 27 doubles. Guarno also showed good strike-zone discipline, strong catch-and-throw skills and quick feet behind the plate. He threw out 49 percent of basestealers this spring.
