Robert Stock of the USC Trojans

Robert Stock guns down Nick Romero on a base stealing attempt at second during a February 26 meeting between the Southern California Trojans and the San Diego St. Aztecs. This is the second time on the night an Aztecs runner was caught stealing on Stock's rocket of an arm. Only 18 years young, the 6-foot-1, 180 pound sophomore was named Baseball America's 2005 Youth Player of the Year after his junior season at Agoura High School, northwest of Los Angeles. He also played in the 2006 AFLAC All-American Classic and on the U.S. Youth National Teams in both 2004 and 2005. Stock gained national notoriety when he decided to skip his senior year of high school and enrolled at USC as a 16-year old, hence making him eligible for the First-Year Player Draft as a 19-year old in 2009. The sophomore is a catcher and pitcher for USC, but has the skill set and tools to be a first round pick and the top catching prospect in the minors. Stock suited up for the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League in 2007.
