Brycen Kincy (2026 SS, Cypress, TX) attacked the first pitch of the game, jumping all over a FB to shoot a line drive to LF. The 5’10” 145 lb righty’s stroke was balanced and controlled, successfully leading with the knob while keeping the hands compact through contact.

Cole Koeninger (2026 SS, Keller, TX) showed off the launch angle during his first plate appearance, driving a double to LF with intent to lift the baseball and create carry. The 6’0” 155 lb IF has projection in the frame with young strength and athleticism present. Also proved to be a factor on the mound, touching 80 mph from a 3/4 slot.

Grant Stratta (2026 2B, Spring, TX) roped a line drive to RF in the top of the 5th to get his name on the stat sheet, displaying a level bat path through the zone with hand speed present. He looked comfortable in the box and wasted no time jumping on the first FB he liked.

Aiden Salinas (2027 SS, Corpus Christi, TX) impressed on both sides of the field, driving a RBI single to LF in the top of the 5th while also being a defensive asset in the infield over the course of the game. The primary SS was mechanically sound in multiple aspects of the game and should continue to fill out the 6’2” 160 lb frame. He changed slots with funky deceptive actions on the mound, topping 81 mph with natural movement. 

Alejandro Padilla (2026 C, Cypress, TX) put a nice piece of hitting on display for his side’s first knock of the game, shooting a line drive to CF with backspin. Padilla successfully worked inside the baseball with balance in the stroke and barrel control to pair. 

Cole Taylor (2026 1B, Austin, TX) had himself a solid day, going 2-3 with the ability to use all parts of the field. The strong framed 6’3” 210 lb righty covered the zone well and stayed back with success to generate impact gap to gap. 

Conner Duron (2026 2B, Pasadena, TX) also posted a 2-3 day, and is another name that used both gaps to his advantage. Contact tool is clearly evident with power expected to become more of a factor as the 5’5” 130 lb frame fills out in the future.

Judson Dowell (2026 3B, Houston, TX) legged out a leadoff triple to open the game, continuing his hot streak from day one. As already stated, Dowell has plenty of strength present in the lower half and excels at using the opposite field with an inside out approach. He also worked off the mound, touching 84 mph from a high 3/4 slot. 

Ronin McCraw (2026 SS, Magnolia, TX) created some loud impact in the left centerfield gap, successfully getting the barrel out in front and extending nicely after contact. It was only a matter a time before the 5’11” 165 lb IF did damage, showing off the sweet stroke in BP which translated directly in game.

Evan Stanislaw (2026 C, Kingwood, TX) displayed the ability to go with some velocity at the dish, driving a low 80’s pitch on the outside corner the opposite way to pick up a double. Strength in the hands was evident with good barrel control and nice coverage of the zone.

Grant Sperandio (2027 SS, Houston, TX) showed some immediate life out of the hand during his brief one inning appearance on the bump, touching 84 mph (~2000 rpm) from a projectable 5’10” 165 lb build and over the top slot. The righty pounded the zone exclusively with the FB, challenging hitters and changing eye levels well to produce swing and miss. Sperandio will become more and more lethal as the off speed develops in the arsenal.

Dereck Hernandez Gonzalez (2026 SS, Conroe, TX) took a solid round of infield defensively and continued to shine with a very smooth and loose swing as he's got some bat speed and the ability to backspin the baseball while matching plane early.

Branson Killian (2026 LHP, Spring, TX) has some looseness in the hands and he found the barrel often showing the fluidity to get it out often and impact the ball well to the pull side.

Alejandro Padilla (2026 C, Cypress, TX) is a solid athlete and he's got some foundational pieces to project on with quick hands, good timing and some strength off the barrel that he showed to the middle of the field. 

Austin Smith (2026 OF, Frisco, TX) took one of the better rounds early on as he stays short thru the zone and has the bat speed and overall twitch to get on time and impact the ball pretty hard already.

Jacob George (2026 OF, Spring, TX) is on the smaller end physically but he's got quick hands which generates solid bat speed and he torques in time with good impact to the pull side and a good round as a whole.

Joe Meloy (2026 SS, Houston, TX) is a loose athlete and a good mover overall and he took a really nice round of batting practice. It's a balanced approach and his short and quick stroke paired with the strength in the profile made the impact he creates intriguing.

Grant Sperandio (2027 SS, Houston, TX) has really good hands in the box and fires them on time producing liners to the middle and was able to use both gaps well throughout the round.

Judson Dowell (2026 3B, Houston, TX) was one of the better all-around players in the workout session and the batting practice was nothing short of that as he's explosive with very good bat speed and the strong hands allow him to produce loud impact to either gap.

Jack Dyment (2026 SS, Pearland, TX) has a longer swing and could use some more strength to create good impact but he flashed some things to like and was able to get timed up and produce some solid impact in flashes.

Ripken Birdwell (2026 MIF, Hooks, TX) is a slightly physical lefthanded hitter with easy bat speed and feel for the barrel and while he can get flat at times, the strength plays already.

Brycen Kincy (2026 SS, Cypress, TX) has some quickness to project on already as it's good impact when he's connected and he was able to get the barrel out and impact the ball well.

Grant Stafford (2027 SS, Lufkin, TX) is a good sized kid with some hand speed and strength in the hands and the heavy barrel allowed him to drive the ball in the air a good bit.

Cole Taylor (2026 1B, Austin, TX) is one of the most physical players in attendance and he'll show just that in flashes as he'll get uphill with the path but the strength off the barrel is undoubted and will be loud when he's on it.

Aiden Salinas (2027 SS, Corpus Christi, TX) took a very intriguing round for a youngster as he's got tons of present bat speed and was on the barrel often with backspin to the middle and real strength off the barrel for the age.

Kaleb Rogers (2025 OF, San Antonio, TX) is a real tooled up prospect across the board and there's some upside in the stick as he swings the bat with intent and has the makings of good bat speed and barrel whip with some strength additions.

Camden Slazer (2027 IF, League City, TX) has some heaviness to the barrel for the age and he already gets synced up very well with good barrels to the middle and both gaps.

Logan Brown (2026 3B, Keller, TX) is another good sized kid with a good bit of whip to the barrel and was really consistent in producing good contact to the middle of the field and projects well.

Ronin McCraw (2026 SS, Magnolia, TX) was really impressive during his round showing lots of hand speed, consistent loud barrels and the ability to ambush the baseball out front with no problem unlocking his strength.

Lale Esquivel (2026 3B, Grapevine, TX) used the whole field well in his round showing consistency in getting to the barrel and some strength behind it with good bat speed and plenty of foundation pieces to project on.

Matthew Manis (2026 LHP, Houston, TX) started the game off with some life out of the hand in the high 70’s, gearing it up to low 80’s (~1850 rpm) on occasion. The young projectable 5’9” 145 lb lefty controlled the tempo of the game well, pitching to contact efficiently from a low 3/4 slot that sequenced a bigger shaped 11-5 breaker with clear bite (~2300 rpm) as his primary off speed pitch. Collected 6 K’s in 3 IP.

Jacob George (2026 OF, Spring, TX) jumped out to a hot start with a line drive pull side single to RF, keeping the hands inside the baseball and successfully getting the barrel out in front.

Judson Dowell (2026 3B, Houston, TX) put the inside out stroke on display in his first AB, shooting a triple down the RF line with solid speed around the bases. Dowell sees the ball deep and has strength evident in the 5’11” 175 lb frame. 

Aiden Reed (2026 RHP, Spring, TX) is another name to watch on the mound as he projects in the future, touching 81 mph (~1950 rpm) in his first inning of work.

The curveball showcased nice vertical depth located on both sides of the dish.
