Texahoma Region: Texas, Oklahoma

The state of Texas has 11 2014 Perfect Game All-Americans and could have legitimately had at least two more in catcher Garrett Wolforth, who re-classified to the 2015 class in the fall, and infielder Kyler Murray, who has spent so much time on the football field that it is difficult to fully evaluate his baseball skills. That's an impressively deep group of talent in one class and one that will keep scouts busy all spring criss-crossing the state. Not surprisingly with this state, the talent theme is generally power bats and power arms.

Oklahoma is part of this region, too, and would have been well represented a couple of years ago with top prospects such as Dylan Bundy, Archie Bradley and J.T. Realmuto. However, the Sooner State is in a bit of a slump in the top prospect category for this year and next and does not have a player on the team. Carl Albert High School catcher/righthander Corey Zangari has shown flashes of big-time power and a mid-90s fastball and compares to Texas' Luken Baker in many ways without the same polish to his game. Yukon High School outfielder Keegan Meyn is a high-level athlete who also will get plenty of scouting attention this spring.


Texahoma Region High School Dream Team


C - Garrett Wolforth, Sr., Concordia Lutheran (Texas)
Wolforth was originally a member of the 2016 class but is a 4.0 student who re-classified for academic reasons before signing with Dallas Baptist. He has some of the best raw arm strength to come along on a prospect in the last decade but is far more than that as a player. Wolforth is a switch-hitter who has pretty equal bat speed from both sides of the plate and will continue to develop his power as he gets stronger and gets more timing repetitions. Baseball runs in the Wolforth family as well his father, Ron, runs a national known pitching/throwing school named Texas Baseball Ranch, while his mother, Jill, was a Academic All-American softball player.

1B - Joe Davis, Sr., Bowie (Texas)
The 6-foot, 220-pound Davis has spent much of his high school career behind the plate but has been playing more and more first base in the last year and that's the position he projects to play at the next level. As with any standout first baseman, Davis' bat is his best tool. His righthanded swing packs enormous raw power and it's power that shows up in games consistently. But Davis is also a mature hitter who makes consistent contact against good pitching and should hit for a high average as well. The Houston signee bears more than a passing resemblance to Oakland A's first baseman/designated hitter and former first round pick Billy Butler.

MIF - Kyler Murray, Sr., Allen (Texas)
Murray is one of the big wildcards heading into the draft season because so few people have seen him play baseball, although no one questions his dynamic athletic ability. The Texas A&M signee is considered the top dual-threat quarterback in the country and has put up some incredible numbers on the gridiron the past two seasons, including 7,640 total passing yards and 91 touchdown passes to go with 2,737 rushing yards and 42 addition touchdowns on the ground. On the baseball field Murray hit .432-8-31 with 21 stolen bases. There is plenty of baseball in Murray's background as his father Kevin was an 11th round draft pick, and his uncle, Calvin, played six years in the Major Leagues.

MIF - Lucas Wakamatsu, Sr., Keller (Texas)
A very projectable switch-hitting infielder, Wakamatsu is the son of former Major League catcher and manager Don Wakamatsu. Lucas has present bat speed from both sides of the plate that is just going to keep improving as he fills out his 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame. Wakamatsu also runs a 6.7 60-yard dash and is agile and athletic in the middle infield. He is signed to attend Rice.

3B - Ke'Bryan Hayes, Sr., Concordia Lutheran (Texas)
Hayes gives this Dream Team's infield two sons of former big leaguers, with Kody Clemens from Memorial High School drawing strong consideration to make that a trio. Strong and powerfully built at 6-foot-1, 207-pounds, Hayes has the strength and leverage to create big bat speed at the plate but is a surprisingly nimble and polished defender at third base as well. He was a standout for the USA National 18u team this past year along with being a Perfect Game All-American.

OF - Trenton Clark, Sr., Richland (Texas)
Clark was unrecognized nationally at the start of last summer but his performances at the Tournament of Stars, the PG All-American Classic and for the USA National 18u team have made him the 10th ranked player in the 2015 PG class rankings. He has a high level of strength, speed and athleticism, but what sets him apart is that he also has a mature understanding of the game, especially on offense. He's the type of player who is likely to lead leagues in either walks or on-base percentage in the future.

OF - Mitchell Hansen, Sr., Plano (Texas)
Projection is usually a term associated with young pitchers but Hansen is a perfect example of projection in a young outfielder. He has a long and lean 6-foot-4, 200-pound build that is going to keep filling out and already has plenty of tools and skills to build on. In addition, he's split time between the football field as a wide receiver and the baseball field in the past and will now be turning his full attention to baseball. The Perfect Game All-American is also a 4.0 student in the classroom and has signed with Stanford.

OF - Ryan Johnson, Sr., College Station (Texas)
College Station High School enters the season as the highest ranked team from Texas in the PG national rankings at No. 6 in the country and looks for Johnson to enable them to repeat as state 3A champions. Johnson has been nationally known as a powerful lefthanded hitter since early in his high school career but improved his overall athletic ability significantly over the past year. The result is that Johnson has gone from a player who projected as a first baseman at the upper levels of the game to a quality right field candidate with 6.8 speed and a big throwing arm. Still, it all comes down to the bat and Johnson's combines big bat speed with lift and power potential.

UT - Christifer Andritsos, Sr., The Woodlands (Texas)
Andritsos has been a two-way standout on the baseball field, along with being a high-level quarterback in the fall, since the start of his sophomore season. He batted .388-12-43 as a sophomore and topped that with a .453-11-35 season as a junior. Despite his hitting ability, Andritsos was a PG All-American as a righthanded pitcher, with a fastball that gets up to 94 mph to go with a sharp curveball. He went a perfect 10-0, 1.50 last season on the mound while posting 107 strikeouts. Andritsos is signed with Oklahoma.

There were no shortage of two-way talents to choose from in this region, as Hayes and Johnson and Luken Baker (listed below as a pitcher) also have legitimate two-way ability, at least when projecting their talents at the college level.

P - Beau Burrows, Sr., Weatherford (Texas)
Burrows has evolved from a max effort thrower to a polished and well rounded pitcher over the last two years and is currently the second ranked righthander in the 2015 PG class rankings. His fastball regularly registers in the mid-90s but he has made significant strides with his curveball and changeup, not to mention his overall command and ability to mix pitches. The performance is there too, as Burrows has a high school record of 23-4, 1.26, including a 5-1, 0.75 mark last spring with 101 strikeouts in 55 innings. He also won the Most Valuable Pitcher award at the 300-plus team 17u WWBA National Championship last summer pitching for the EvoShield Canes.

P - Cole McKay, Sr., Smithson Valley (Texas)
McKay (pronouced "McKye") is a big, physically mature 6-foot-5, 230-pound righthander with an approach to pitching that is equally mature. He throws from a smooth and loose delivery that produces a fastball up to 95 mph that will comfortably sit in the low-90s with big running life. McKay also is comfortable throwing both an upper-70s curveball and a low-80s changeup and is efficient in filling up the strike zone. He received the Baseball America Pitcher of the Year award as part of the PG All-American Classic ceremonies and is signed with Louisiana State.

P - Luken Baker, Sr., Oak Ridge (Texas)
Baker is an enormously strong athlete who looks significantly bigger than his listed 6-foot-4, 240-pound size. He and fellow PG All-American Christifer Andritsos could easily switch positions on the this team, with Baker assuming the utility role, due to his own exploits and talents as a dual threat, which includes winning the home run derby at the the Major League All-Star Game "Junior" Home Run Derby. But like Andritsos, Baker's future is on the mound. He throws a heavy fastball that reaches 95 mph, plus a hard low-80s slider that has very good depth at times. He may get a shot at playing two ways if he decides against professional baseball this year and attends Texas Christian.

P - Antonio Santillan, Sr., Arlington (Texas)
Santillan's physical tools and background are eerily similar to the Texas Rangers recently acquired right handed pitcher Yovani Gallardo, also a Metroplex resident of Mexican heritage. He is a two-way standout at Arlington High School and was named all-district as a 6-foot-3, 195-pound shortstop although his future is clearly on the mound. Santillan throws in the 91-94 mph range on his fastball with outstanding life to go with a hard upper-70s breaking ball with hard and tight spin.

P - Mason Thompson, Jr., Round Rock (Texas)
Thompson and Coppell HS right hander Charles King are considered the two top junior pitchers in the region and either would be a worthy pick at this spot. King has a tick better present stuff but Thompson and his highly projectable 6-foot-7, 190-pound body has a better combination of projectability and present pitchability. Thompson can reach the low-90s now with more on the way but is also a polished young pitcher with a three-pitch mix and international experience pitching for the USA National 15u team.

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways
Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Kyler Peterson

WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Days 1-2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in Fort Myers were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kasen Langerhans (2028, Round Rock, Texas) batted leadoff and stuck at the hot corner for Texas Twelve Red Sox 2028 in Fort Myers. The Texas native has the looks a young left-handed power bat and the swing is built for it. Langerhans produces easy bat speed, delivering a fast and leveraged barrel through the zone. He creates backspin and uses the ground well, really getting into the legs. The infielder has excellent power projection and took comfortable, intentful cuts in the box. Langerhans got the job done at the top of the order...

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler
Article Image
Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

WWBA Freshman Prospect Recap

Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kolt Hampton (2030, Chandler, AZ) is a left-handed hitting infielder with present barrel speed and twitch in the turn. Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs. Stays tight in the turn with present strength and the approach plays to all fields....

SBA Takes 14u Title Behind Offense

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
To say there were standouts all over the field for the 14u WWBA World Championship would be an understatement as the matchup of Team Elite 14u Scout and SBA Bolts National 14u saw two of the more loaded rosters going head-to-head with a title on the line. And after weather threw a giant wrench into pool play, both Sunday and Monday were nothing but sunshine and high intensity baseball leading into the final game of the event.  While the game ultimately ended via run rule after five in favor of SBA upon a 9 run inning, it was a tight contest up until that point with Team Elite carrying a 3-2 lead thru four innings.  Team Elite drew first blood as a Ross Logan walk quickly turned into the first run of the game following a well struck single by Cooper Ooten into left field who eventually came around to score following a double steal, scoring before the third out of the inning was...

PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase High School Division

Erica Beach
Article Image
PG Softball Chesterfield Fall Showcase HS Division Oct 17-18, 2026 Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex CHESTERFIELD, MO — It was a perfect weekend for softball, with 16 teams converging on the Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex to compete in the High School Division. Teams from Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa were there to battle it out, and there was only one undefeated team in the tournament: the Southeast Iowa All-Stars 16U Gold Flowerbach, who went a stellar 5-0 on the weekend. We were treated to some stellar performances all weekend and below we highlight some of the standout athletes who caught our eyes.  Lucy Turner (2027, Marion, IA) of the Cedar Rapids Reds was a truly dynamic two-way player this past weekend.

Wildcatters Reign Supreme at 13u WWBA

Jheremy Brown
Article Image
After both the Best of the West and the Beast of the East wrapped up, a big conglomerate of high end talent and stacked teams descended upon West Palm for both the 13u and the 14u WWBA World Championships. While the weather threw a wrench into the plans early on and some adjustment was needed to ensure the event moved forward, it was nothing but sunshine and competitive baseball throughout Sunday and into the early morning Monday.  Kicking off with the 13u WWBA World Championship, the first thing to point out is the fact this was a wood bat tournament played on 60-90 fields and while the combo was a first for most, you wouldn't know it with their level of play throughout the weekend. In an unsurprising twist and a continuation of their 12u dominance, the 13u championship saw the #2 seeded Goldin Prospects lock horns with the top seeded Houston Wildcatters, aka the champion of the...
