    LHP/OF Cody Ross is the best player by a wide margin in sparse New Mexico. As a pitcher, he overpowered weak high school competition in the eastern part of the state with a 90-91-mph fastball. His talents are geared more for everyday play in the future--in either pro ball or at Arizona State. He has a live body, good speed and good power potential. He also plays aggressively. In time, Ross should have solid hitting mechanics, but his bat is the weakest part of his game now. He's one of the few players who switch-hits and throws left.
