MLB.com money quote: "While Ginn finished second nationally among high schoolers with 16 homers last year - only Angels first-rounder Jo Adell had more - teams covet his right arm more than his bat. He has one of the best power arsenals in the high school ranks and a history of dominating on the showcase circuit and with Team USA."
