As a take off of the study Rany Jazayerli did , I looked at ages for high school draft picks for the 2012 draft. I looked at both hitters and pitcher though. The age listed is as of 7-21-12, the cut off date for draft eligible sophomores. Here are the youngest of the bunch:
| Name | POS | School | Commitment | Age | Birthday |
| Giovanni Hernandez | C/RHP | Heath, TX | No school | 17.2 | 5/20/1995 |
| Sean McLaughlin | OF/RHP | Johns Creek GA Northview | Georgia | 17.2 | 5/16/1995 |
| Lewis Brinson | P/OF | Coral Springs, Margate, FL | Florida | 17.2 | 5/8/1995 |
| Corey Seager | SS | Northwest Cabarrus, Kannapolis, NC | South Carolina | 17.3 | 4/27/1995 |
| Trey Williams | 3B | Valencia, Saugus, CA | Pepperdine | 17.4 | 3/9/1995 |
| Daniel Starwalt | RHP | El Cajon | Stanford | 17.5 | 2/7/1995 |
| Nick Travieso | P | American Heritage, FL | Miami | 17.5 | 1/31/1995 |
| Tyler Pike | LHP/OF | Winter Haven FL Winter Haven | Florida State | 17.5 | 1/26/1995 |
| Jameis Winston | OF/P | Hueytown, Hueytown, AL | Florida State | 17.6 | 1/6/1995 |
| Kyle Carter | OF | Columbus, Midland, GA | Georgia | 17.6 | 1/5/1995 |
| Carlos Correa | SS | Santa Isabel PR PR Baseball Academy | No school | 17.8 | 9/22/1994 |
| Steven Golden | OF | Hayward, CA | No school | 17.9 | 9/12/1994 |
| Cody Poteet | P | San Diego Christian HS, Bonita, CA | UCLA | 18 | 7/30/1994 |
| Walker Buehler | RHP/IF/OF | Lexington KY Henry Clay | Vanderbilt | 18 | 7/28/1994 |
| Anthony Alford | OF | Petal, MS | No school | 18 | 7/20/1994 |
| Duane Underwood | RHP | Pope HS, Marietta, Ga. | Georgia | 18 | 7/20/1994 |
| Chase Mullins | LHP | Paris KY Bourbon County | Kentucky | 18 | 7/19/1994 |
| Carson Kelly | 3B/RHP | Westview HS, Portland, OR | No school | 18 | 7/14/1994 |
Some very interesting names are listed here. Carlos Correa maybe next seasons Francisco Lindor. He has massive potential and could get top 10 consideration. Considering Winston and Alford are also two sport guys, it gives them leniency for being a little less polished. They have a few extra months to catch up even though Alford may not need it at the plate. Brinson, Seager and Williams are also interesting as high upside talents. Definately some good names to watch if you like what his study showed.
More to come..
