Coleman is a solid defensive catcher coming from a good college program. He's got solid catch-and-throw skills and moves well behind the plate. The biggest question is his bat. He's struggled to find any kind of groove offensively in his junior season and it's therefore difficult to project any production for him with the bat. Defense behind the plate always has some value and it looks like whatever career Coleman might have will be as a backup.

Gibson certainly looked the part of a top college starter in the early part of the season. He has three pitches he can throw for strikes in any count and he
shows a lot of poise and a competitive streak on the mound. Scouts love his size at 6-foot-6, though some might worry he's a little too thin. Most look at his combination of stuff, command and mound presence and see a sure-fire first-round pick.
