James Kirkpatrick (2018 RHP, Houston, TX) threw three hitless innings, striking out five hitters. He has a very sound delivery with ideal lower half use to help generate velocity and pitched steadily in the 86-88 mph range with good downhill angle to his pitches. Fitzpatrick's curveball had good arm speed and velocity at 72-74 mph and flashed tightness to the spin.
Holden Lane (2018 RHP, Groves, TX) is a big and physical 6-2/220 right hander who has a loose and whippy arm out front and worked consistently in the mid-80's with his fastball. Lane played in a football game Friday night, probably not the only showcase participant in football crazed Texas who did, and probably has plenty more in his arm.
CJ Horn (2018 C, San Antonio, TX) went 0-3 on the game but all three at-bats were deep or hard drives to the outfield. He squared the ball up hard early in the count each time and could have ended up with a couple of extra base hits easily.
Davis Meche (2020 SS, Lake Charles, LA) has a quick left handed swing and the ball jumped off his bat hard. He also showed lots of carry, especially for his age, across the diamond on his throws from shortstop.
Nicholas Meineke (2018 3B, Spring, TX) has good athleticism as a position player but he was also very solid on the mound as a secondary pitcher. He worked 81-83 in the strike zone and picked up strike outs with both his curveball and a very nice change up.
