As part of our 2012 draft coverage here at Scout.com, we’re providing team quality first-hand scouting reports on the names you need to know on draft day. Here’s a look at college shortstop, Nolan Fontana. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1191013.html 2047 Frankie Piliere http://sbb.scout.com/2/1191013.html Fri, 01 Jun 2012 00:12:00 GMT 1 381 Scouting Baseball sbb The Gators invented a new term on Friday night—or early Saturday morning. It’s the walk-off strikeout. With a runner on third and two outs in the 16th inning, Nolan Fontana struck out on a breaking ball in the dirt. He dodged the tag of catcher Brandon Stephens before sprinting to first. Stephens threw the ball over the first baseman’s head to give No. 1 Florida a 3-2 win in 16 innings. http://florida.scout.com/2/1179391.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1179391.html Sat, 21 Apr 2012 04:59:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Nolan Fontana was pressing. He watched his average and confidence take a tumble as his approach at the plate started to hurt him. The junior has always been a patient hitter, leading the Gators in walks during his first two seasons and currently in the lead this year. That can also force him to miss hittable pitches and cause unproductive at-bats. The fix at the plate was simple—stop thinking. http://florida.scout.com/2/1178945.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1178945.html Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:08:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida When Nolan Fontana looked to his left during the first two years of his career, there wasn’t a doubt what he would see. It was always Josh Adams at second base. Adams missed just one game over the last two seasons, but he graduated last year and is currently in the Florida Marlins system. Fontana is now trying to help the younger players mature so that one can step up at second base. http://florida.scout.com/2/1157662.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1157662.html Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:34:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Nolan Fontana’s patience at the plate made him a perfect fit as Florida’s leadoff hitter during his first two seasons. Despite hitting eight home runs in his first two years, Fontana has led the Gators in walks during both of his seasons in Gainesville. However, that could change this season. Talks with the Florida coaches this offseason might have Fontana swinging more often in the spring. http://florida.scout.com/2/1136567.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1136567.html Wed, 07 Dec 2011 06:15:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida South Carolina grabs a quick lead and leans on ace Michael Roth to hold off Florida to clinch the CWS championship series with a 5-2 victory. http://www.scout.com/2/1083167.html 2047 Randy Rosetta http://www.scout.com/2/1083167.html Wed, 29 Jun 2011 03:25:00 GMT 0 143 Scout.com www The Orlando Scorpions 17U Purple summer baseball team is loaded with Division-I prospects. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/769251.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/769251.html Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:39:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate
