On Friday, January 2nd, the PB Texas staff traveled to Weatherford College in Weatherford, TX, to host the Fort Worth Preseason ID, an open event for all high school classes.

More than 25 players made their way to Weatherford JC this past weekend and participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball Texas staff.

We have already released a Statistical Analysis from the event, highlighting the top statistical performers. Today, we will provide our scouting takeaways on some of the prospects who stood out throughout the event.

QUICK HITS

Parker Miller | OF/LHP | Burleson Centennial | 2029 | 6’3” 188 | L/L
Projectable frame with plenty of room to add strength. Showed the ability to impact the baseball in BP, flashing developing pull-side power. On the mound, the arm works with some length to the action and touched 85 mph in the bullpen, while showing feel for a secondary pitch. Impressive overall workout. One to follow closely as he enters he begins his HS career.


Easton Moore | RHP/SS | Burleson Centennial | 2029 | 6’0” 150 | L/R
Lean, projectable athlete with strength gains ahead. On the mound, the arm works well with visible arm quickness; velocity should continue to come as the body matures. Shows feel for a slider with a shorter, downer finish. Defensively, SS actions are developing, moves well to the baseball, and shows carry on throws. At the plate, displays a solid hit approach with consistent barrel contact, with room to tighten and add impact. A developmental player to continue tracking.


Parker Hopson | CF/INF | Arlington Martin | 2027 | 5’11” 175 | R/R
Athletic mover with present explosiveness. Posted a 6.47 60, showing well-above-average speed that plays on the field. Profiles well in center field and continues to improve on the infield as the hands firm up. Bat and hand speed are present, with the ability to impact the baseball as the approach continues to develop. Strong runner with a good frame to add strength. Tools are trending in the right direction, with the skill set to play at the next level.


Aiden Gray | C/3B | Birdville | 2026 | 5’10” 200 | R/R
Solid, physical build. Received and moved well behind the plate, showing carry on throws with 1.93-1.97 pop times in workouts. The catch-and-throw foundation is in place based on the workout. At the plate, shows a solid swing and approach with flashes of pull-side power. A catcher with developing offensive upside who should continue to improve.


Mark Ogden | C/OF | Aledo | 2028 | 6’0” 205 | R/R
Strong build with present physicality and room to add more strength. A multi-sport athlete (football DE) who popped 1.94-2.01 in workout. Receiving and framing are still developing. At the plate, produces hard contact with an aggressive mindset; refining the hit approach will help unlock more consistency. A player to follow closely over the next few years as the tools come together.


William Hollifield | OF/LHP | Mineral Wells | 2027 | L/L
Athletic player with a nice frame and room to add strength. Plus runner who moves well in the outfield, showing carry on throws. At the plate, handles the bat well with line-drive contact to all fields; pull-side power should come as he continues to mature. On the mound, he’s a strike-throwing left-hander with the ability to spin a breaking ball and feel for a changeup. Developing two-way prospect with upside.


Austin Gallogly | RHP/1B | Brock | 2027 | 6’3” 195 | R/R
Good frame with strength gains ahead. On the mound, the arm works well and the delivery should continue to firm up. Fastball has touched 85 mph and projects for more velocity. Shows solid feel for a slider with late, short down action. An arm worth following as stuff and consistency continue to improve.


Trace McCoy | C/INF | Midland | 2026 | 6’0” 175 | R/R | Hardin-Simmons commit
Nice athletic build with room to add strength. Defensive versatility shows both on the infield and behind the plate. Posted 1.94-2.00 pop times in workouts and moved well receiving, with hands working in bullpen sessions. Shows carry on throws. Offensively, flashed the ability to impact the baseball when on time; improving consistency will raise the floor. Continued strength development should help firm the overall tool set.
