Best of 7 Series: Texahoma

Photo: Jared Kelley (Perfect Game)

Each segment of the Best of 7, 10-part series has been assembled by one of PG’s scouts. The idea of this exercise is to put together a team with the best amateur players from 10 different regions from across the country in an attempt to win a seven-game series. The players are not necessarily the top prospects in each state/region, but those that have consistently proven they have what it takes to win consistently at a high level. Which region would win such a series? Stay tuned to Perfect Game and join us @PerfectGameUSA to chime in.

Best of 7 Series: Florida | Pacific | Southeast

Texahoma Region:
Oklahoma, Texas



Drew Romo
As the premier defensive prep backstop in the country and a 2019 PG All-American, Romo has no lack of experience participating in big events. The switch-hitting catcher has been on the PG event circuit since the age of 13, to go along with four years as a varsity letterman and two years of starting experience on the USA 18u National team, where he hit an outstanding .458 with 10 RBIs and 11 runs scored in just eight games at the Pan-American Championships. While the bat is something that is still coming along nicely, Romo hit a solid .397 with 17 doubles, four home runs and 35 RBIs in his junior season. The defensive skillset, however, has virtually never been in question as evidenced by the PG Rawlings ‘Finest in the Field’ Defensive Player of the Year award he received in 2019. This is one of the easier selections to plug in to lead from behind the dish given his flat-out ability to play and the leadership qualities he has shown throughout his career.

Nate Rombach
Rombach is another highly regarded backstop that came out of high school as the top-ranked catcher for the state of Texas and has made an even bigger name for himself with his performance over this shortened spring at Texas Tech. Regarded as one of the biggest impact freshmen players in the country, Rombach was on fire to start his collegiate campaign, hitting at a .308 clip with a team-leading six home runs and 27 RBIs in just 19 games. Dating back to his high school days, it is easy to see why Rombach is a player you want to have on your team, given the fact that he led Mansfield Legacy to an 80-25 record in his three years at the varsity level, including hitting at an over .500 clip his in junior season and a .442 clip with nine home runs and 46 RBIs in his senior season. His five all-state selections don’t begin to tell the kind of legacy he left at the high school level and what he is in store for now in the collegiate ranks.



Jace Bohrofen
Bohrofen, a primary outfielder with the skillset to stick at any of those three positions long-term, has seen extended time at the first base position at the high school level, so he will slot into that spot here on this roster. As a potential first round pick in the upcoming draft, he has hit at every stop in his career, including an outstanding junior season where he hit .479 with 18 doubles, eight triples, 12 home runs and 66 RBIs. He has no shortage of experience participating in big events with a selection to the 2019 PG All-American Classic. The athleticism and arm strength have been put on display year-round for Bohrofen as he competes both on the diamond and on the gridiron as a quarterback for Westmoore High School. This is an easy selection to slot into the top part of any order, specifically the second spot in the lineup where his speed-power combo can be put to great use.

Nick Loftin
Loftin, a very well-rounded middle infielder, has made quite a name for himself of late in his career. A Top 500 prospect out of high school, Loftin made an impact right away once stepping foot on campus at Baylor. He was named a Freshman All-American after his first season with the Bears before earning First Team All-Big 12 honors in his sophomore campaign and various Preseason All-American and Big 12 Player of the Year honors leading into his junior season. As a four-year letterman in high school, he hit for a career .454 average, which translated well to the collegiate level where he should finish as a career .316 hitter, netting a potential day one draft selection in the process. Loftin fills in easily at either middle infield position, with the tools to fit long-term at the shortstop position but should slot in over at second in this lineup that also includes talented college freshman Trey Faltine.

Trey Faltine
Faltine is an outstanding athlete and came out of high school as one of the most versatile players headed for the college ranks. As a former PG All-American and a two-time member of the USA Baseball National team, Faltine has been in the national spotlight for some time now. A two-way player who saw time all over the field in high school, he has a lot to offer any team he puts the jersey on for. He was lights out across all four years on the mound and has started to come into his own at the plate. Now in college, the offensive numbers have started off warm, with a .259 average, seven RBIs and 12 runs scored as he hit safely in 13 of 17 games, but for a true freshman playing the shortstop position extremely well, they will more than suffice as he looks to continue to hold down a starting spot he has locked down defensively.

Brett Squires
Squires was one of the biggest impact players in the country for the ever-so-talented McLennan Community College, who would finish the shortened season ranked fourth nationally by Perfect Game. The power in the bat has come into play in his two years at the junior college level as he hit .300 with 19 home runs and 76 RBIs, including a .338-8-28 line in the 21-game shortened season this spring. As a lefthanded hitting third baseman with the athleticism and tools to also play the outfield, it is easy to dream on the impact he could have on this roster and what he projects to as a Sooner next year in Norman. Put him over at third base, where can he hold his own, and watch the strength-based prospect make a ton of noise from the middle of the lineup.

Colton Cowser
As the first player from the Southland Conference in 10 years to find his name on the Golden Spikes Award Preseason Watch List, Cowser has made quite a name for himself at the collegiate level. From a Top 1000 player coming out of high school, he has shot all the way up to the 13th-ranked collegiate sophomore in the country for next year’s draft. He has an extremely mature approach at the plate with good barrel skills that led him to a .361 average with 17 doubles, seven triples and seven home runs in his freshman season and a spot on the Team USA Collegiate National Team. His outstanding accomplishments thus far have littered the Sam Houston State record books with his name and show quite frankly why he would be an impact player at any of the outfield positions on this roster.

Zach DeLoach
After two sub-par years to his standards, DeLoach found his stride in the Cape Cod League and had a blazing start to his junior season before it was cut short. The lefthanded hitting outfielder has outstanding tools and it was only a matter of time before he put it all together and yielded the results that the raw talent projected to. Against some of the best talent the college crop has to offer on the Cape, DeLoach hit .368 and took home the batting title. That success translated directly over to this spring as he hit .462 with six home runs, 17 RBIs and 25 runs scored in just 17 games. It is good to see DeLoach finding the same success at the plate that he had back in high school, where he racked up various all-state honors and took home a few PG tournament championships. Slot him into a corner outfield spot and watch the upward-trending bat see big success in the middle of the lineup.

Josh Elvir
It would be difficult to keep someone who has had as much success as Elvir off a list of guys that can straight up compete, so we won’t. The reigning Division II Player of the Year put up outstanding numbers in his junior season at Angelo State, hitting to the tune of a .458 clip with 20 home runs and 81 RBIs to go with his 50 walks in about as many games. After cementing his name many places in the Rams record books in 2019, Elvir was well on pace for a variety of accolades in 2020. He jumped out to a .438 average with 11 home runs and 30 RBIs in just 22 games, leading the team to a 19-3 record prior the season being stopped. It will be interesting to see if a pro organization takes a shot on his talent, but for this roster, he’ll slot right into an outfield spot and hit somewhere in the middle of the order where his impact will be felt.

Luis Vargas
A name not too well known to those outside of the NAIA landscape, Vargas has put up what seems like video-game numbers this spring, hitting .495 with 20 home runs and 55 RBIs in just 30 games. He’ll finish the 2020 shortened season atop the NAIA ranks in home runs, total bases, runs scored and RBIs while finishing second in slugging percentage and total hits. A 6-foot-5, 235-pound primary outfielder, Vargas slots into the designated-hitter role in this lineup given his ability to do just that. He has vastly improved his ability to put the ball in play at Wayland as his strikeout rate has dropped dramatically from his prior season at Ranger Junior College, making him a serious weapon against even the better arms the collegiate level has to offer.



Masyn Winn
As one of the nation’s most highly regarded two-way prospects, Winn has had his fair share of big performances. In his junior season, he pitched to the tune of a 13-0 record with a 0.46 ERA and 137 strikeouts, while hitting at a .439 clip with 26 runs driven in. His successes on both sides of the ball were a driving force in Kingwood’s 31-7 record and reaching the 6A State Final Four. On the tournament circuit side of things, he saw similar levels of success, racking up 12 All-Tournament selections in his PG career, including an outstanding performance at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter. It is easy to see from a numbers standpoint just how impactful his presence can be on a roster, but his ability to flat-out compete with the best athletes in the world on any given day can’t be measured with any particular statistic. His long-term future may be on the mound, but the all-around profile is hard to match.

Cade Horton
Another highly coveted two-way player with the potential for a bright future on the mound is prep righthander Cade Horton, a two-sport athlete who is signed to play both baseball and football at Oklahoma. Horton made his presence known at the PG National Showcase, where he showcased a toolsy skillset in the infield, but bumped up to 95 mph on the mound and earned a PG All-American Classic selection. His athleticism shows on the gridiron as well, known for being a dual-threat quarterback who threw for over 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns in addition to over 1,100 yards and 15 scores on the ground in his senior season. Horton is a player you just love to watch move around the diamond and an easy fill-in on the left side of the infield with a bat that can make a lot of noise when plugged into any lineup, not to mention the talent he possesses on the mound.



Asa Lacy
Perhaps the most well-known name on this list, Lacy has been nothing short of dominant throughout his career, getting better with every new year under his belt. The large lefthander has a possibility to get selected as the first overall pick in the upcoming draft, with what seems like a top-five selection as his floor. He was a talented pitching prospect coming out of high school, setting a school record with 13 wins in his senior season, producing a 0.93 ERA and 128 strikeouts. It is difficult to think Lacy could have gotten better at the collegiate level, but he tapped into the projection many saw in him and ran with it, succeeding against some of the best teams college baseball has to offer out of the SEC. He’ll finish his career as an Aggie with an outstanding 2.07 ERA and 224 strikeouts, including the blaze he was on in 2020, when he allowed just two earned runs with 46 strikeouts in 24 innings of work. It’s pretty obvious that any coach should want this type of talent on their roster and it should be intriguing to see which team pulls the trigger first on a guy who is as passionate as they come representing the name on the front of the jersey.

Cade Cavalli
With what seems to be one of the best professional makeups of this year’s draft class, Cavalli has all the right pieces to be an impact in any rotation. He has a big and physical starter’s build with the arm talent that pushes the fastball towards triple digits to go with a very good slider and a good changeup. He has stepped up in plenty of big spots at Oklahoma, including a stellar six-inning, 11-strikeout winning performance against the always-talented Arkansas roster at the Shriners Classic this spring. Cavalli has seen some time at the plate at the college level after showing well with the bat in his high school days, but should see his time move strictly to the mound after what looks to be a first-round selection in the upcoming draft. Slot him in as the sure-fire No. 2 starter in this rotation.

Jared Kelley
As a physical righthander with fastballs regularly into the upper-90s and a pair of very good off-speed pitches, Kelley sits comfortably near the top of the list for the best pitching prospect in this year’s draft class. Named the Victoria Advocate Player of the Year and a PG All-American in 2019, Kelley has had outstanding success in the high school ranks. In his junior high school season, he finished 11-0 with a 0.22 ERA and 144 strikeouts in just 65 innings. That success looked to continue this spring as he started off with an outstanding 34 strikeouts in just 12 innings of work to just three walks. He has had some success at the plate in the high school ranks, hitting around .350 with some home run pop, but just slot him in to pitch toward the front of this rotation and his impact will be felt.



Daxton Fulton
As the top-ranked player out of Oklahoma and the premier prep lefthanded pitching prospect in this year’s draft class, Fulton has performed in the national spotlight for some time now. As just a freshman, Fulton pitched Westmoore High School to a 6A state title, tossing a complete game effort in the championship to end a 35-year drought for the program. His impact on the field has only risen since then as he has seen success at some of the premier events PG has to offer, including dominating both the National Showcase and striking out the side in his one-inning outing at the All-American Classic. It must be noted that Fulton did have Tommy John surgery last August, so he hasn’t returned to the mound, but moving forward he will be a force to be reckoned with.

Colton Williams
Another name not too well known to many that also stems from the NAIA ranks is USAO lefthander Colton Williams who has put up unmatched numbers since the beginning of last season. In 2019, he pitched to the tune of a 16-0 record with a 1.33 ERA and 136 strikeouts in just 108 innings pitched. Those dominant numbers would net him numerous NAIA Pitcher of the Year selections. 2020 had Williams on what seemed very much like the same pace, starting 5-0 with a 0.61 ERA and 36 strikeouts to just three walks in over 29 innings pitched. Williams is a grinder on the mound, tossing seven complete games in his junior season and leading USAO to a deep finish at the NAIA World Series. The fastball works into the low-90s, complemented by a very good breaking ball that projects well to the next level if a professional organization chooses to take a shot on the talented lefthander. Plug in this type of high-energy talent with a ton to play for and watch him compete against some of the best the country has to offer.



Clayton Beeter
Beeter found his stride in Lubbock, particularly during his abbreviated redshirt sophomore season, and has flown up draft boards into regular first-round discussions. As a physical righthander with a fastball into the upper-90s, he jumped into the closer role in his redshirt freshman season and helped the Red Raiders to a Big 12 title and the program’s best finish in Omaha a year ago. This spring, however, he transitioned over to a starter’s role, posting a 2.14 ERA in four starts with 33 strikeouts to just four walks. His fastball-curveball combination gives him a high ceiling at the next level, so he should slot into some sort of swing or relief role here on this roster.

Burl Carraway
A junior at Dallas Baptist, Carraway has tremendous upside as a high leverage lefthander and has the possibility to be the first true reliever taken in this upcoming draft. After seeing limited innings early on in his collegiate career, Carraway has found his stride and tapped into his potential, now running the fastball in the mid-90s range, ticking into the upper-90s when needed. Pair that with solid breaking ball and you have a two-pitch mix that would see success across all ranks, which is what he saw this spring allowing just one earned run and racking up 17 strikeouts across nine innings of relief appearances to go with five saves. Plug him right into the closer role here on this roster and you should feel comfortable with what you get in the ninth each time out.

Luke Little
With some of the loudest raw stuff a pitcher at any level has to offer, Little turned heads in the Northwoods League last summer when he ran the fastball up to 97 mph at the Dreams Showcase, placing him atop some of the best draft prospects the JUCO level has to offer. The biggest question mark for Little was his control of the stuff, but in a brief spring season, he showed he could fill the zone, evidenced by his 17 strikeouts to just three walks across nine innings of work in five appearances. The 6-foot-8, 240-pound body is quite the presence on the mound and is very much a factor in the dominance he can have when locked in. Given his success already out of the bullpen for a talented San Jacinto program, put him right into a similar role here and you have another power lefthander who can get big outs late in games, something any team could use in a high-profile seven-game series.

2026 MLB Draft Board Update

The calendar is just days away from being flipped over to 2026, and while the players may be on break, it’s clear that they are just itching to get back on the field and compete once again, with another season of college baseball right around the corner. For prep players (especially in warm-weather states), the season’s right around the corner, and players will be back on the ball fields sooner than later. With that said, the PG Draft Team came together and got to work on a 2026 MLB Draft Board update. A little pre-season shake-up and expansion as we took our board from the Top 150 names to the Top 300 names, in preparation for the 2026 college and prep seasons to begin. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery occurred earlier in December and shed some light on what the draft order will look like in 2026, with the Chicago White Sox taking home the first overall pick, followed by the Tampa...

The LSU Tigers Win It All Again For the second time in the last three years, the LSU Tigers, led by head coach Jay Johnson secured the national title. The national championship was the eight in LUS program history as they swept Coastal Carolina in the MCWS championship series. As a result, Johnson was virtually a unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year on media outlets and is the fastest coach to win multiple CWS championships at a single school. The tournament’s Most Outstanding Player was Tigers’ lefthanded ace and Perfect Game First-Team All-American, Kade Anderson highlighted by his complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals.

Looking Back at the 2025 Top 10  Matt Barr (‘25 Niagara, ‘26 Minnesota Twins) Bursting onto the scene last winter, footage of an indoor bullpen rocketed Barr onto the radar of many. Explosive fastball reaches near triple digits with incredible spin numbers across the secondaries. Huge numbers at Niagara earned him the title of the first Juco player drafted in 2025. JC Vanek (‘25 Chipola, ‘26 Kansas City Royals) Just a professional hitter. Vanek for two years at Chipola was an impossible out. While there are questions if the power will ever reach what it takes to play first base at the big league level, the bat and quality defensive skillset at first base may carry.

Lucien Saint Cyr, INF, Class of 2026 Commitment: Bucknell Saint Cyr announced his pledge to Bucknell, giving the Bison an interesting blend of present tools and projection. Saint Cyr stands 6-foot-1 and offers room to fill in his medium frame, profiling in the middle infield defensively. The New York product starts wide at the base in the right-handed box, keeping his hands high behind the ear. He works into a subtle outward step load, firing through a compact barrel that showcases bat speed and gap-to-gap impact. For head coach Scott Heather and Bucknell, they land a high-quality Northeast infielder in the ’26 cycle, adding to a class that takes the quality over quantity approach.
