JMay Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 This little write up on Colin Delome from Baseball America Websitehttp://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/features/263858.htmlScouting Report Collin DeLome, of, Lamar Lamar has appeared in three regionals in the last five years, and the Cardinals appear poised to make another run at regionals this season in the crowded Southland Conference race. After taking two of three from Texas State last weekend, Lamar improved to 16-5 in the conference, opening up a 3 1/2 game lead over McNeese State in the East Division. Lamar has a .307 team batting average, and the team has different ways to score, from on-base machine Erik Kanaby (.414/.507/.481) to slugging catcher/DH Michael Ambort (.379/.428/.650). But scouts agree the team's top player is junior outfielder Collin DeLome (.340/.404/.613), the reigning conference player of the year. We caught up with a coach who's seen plenty of DeLome in his career and got this report:"He's the best player in the league easy, and it sounds like he's going to go in the second or third round. He was a high school shortstop and he's got some athletic ability, and Jim Gilligan and the guys at Lamar have done a good job with him, which is no surprise because they are a real solid staff. They moved him to the outfield when he got there, and his bat really has come alive. He's got hitting ability and some real power, and he is at full speed in two steps. He runs well, he's got bat speed--he's a good offensive player. He's fine in the outfield. He's just a complete player."
