Just in case people miss it in the Marlins thread, Baseball America:

EDGAR OLMOS, LHP, Birmingham HS, Van Nuys, Calif.
Tall and stringy with a basketball player's build at 6-foot-5, Olmos delivers his 87-89 mph fastball toward home plate with a sidearm, buggy-whip motion. His projectable frame and loose arm action suggest Olmos will significantly increase his velocity as he fills out, and he has already touched the low 90s several times. An Arizona recruit, Olmos exhibits a fine feel for his secondary pitches. His slow curve shows sweeping movement with a hint of wiffle-ball action. He also offers a changeup that has a bit of screwball rotation. Mechanically, Olmos does an excellent job of keeping his front side closed and showing the piping on his right pant leg to the hitter as long as possible. However, in his delivery he wraps his arm and needs to get fuller extension on his finish. Also, his arm slot varies from fastball to curve, and he tips his breaking ball by "screwing in a light bulb" as he grips the ball in his glove. All of these problems should be easily correctable.

I like the sound of him, though it all depends on whether or not he chooses to head to college.

Signed

Baseball: Birmingham pitcher signs with Florida Marlins
All-City left-hander Edgar Olmos of Birmingham has signed with the Florida Marlins. He was a third-round draft choice and received a bonus package of close to $500,000 to turn down a scholarship to Arizona.

"I'm excited," said Olmos, who will leave Wednesday for Jupiter, Fla.

The 6-foot-4 Olmos is the son of two parents who came to America from Mexico with little education but through hard work and dedication have raised a family.

Olmos was one of the top pitchers in the West Valley League and has the potential for even more progress once he gains additional weight and strength.
