Quinn Fitzpatrick | RHP | Stratford HS | 6’2” 190
Quality build with a strong lower half and room to add strength. Power pitcher’s frame. Delivery works well, with acceleration and extension through release. Fastball 92–94 mph with tailing life to the arm side and ability to attack all quadrants. Curveball 76–80 with depth; spin up to 2600 rpm, needs to firm command. Slider 80–82 with short, late finish. Changeup at 80 with tail/sink, used effectively to both sides. High Follow Prospect for 2027.

George Ferguson | RHP | Abilene HS | 6’4” 210
Excellent pitcher’s frame with projection for strength gains. Delivery is clean, arm action works. Fastball 92–94 with carry at the top of the zone and tailing life to arm side. Slider 79–81 shows average action with ability to manipulate shape — tight downer with occasional hard CB look. Changeup features tail/sink and shows comfort using it to both sides. Continues trending upward. High Follow Prospect for 2027.

Jake Ivey | LHP | Gunter HS | 6’3” 210
Strong pitcher’s build with athleticism and room for added strength. Repeatable delivery, long arm path with hook, no concerns. Low slot with crossfire action creates tough angle. FB 89–92, effective up in the zone with swing-and-miss traits. Works both sides of plate. Curveball shows average action and is manipulative like the FB. Changeup shows consistent tail/sink. High Follow Prospect for 2027.

Downhill plane present. Needs to refine command and vertical feel. CB 75–78 with average action at times, 12–5 shape. Changeup 73–75 with fade.

Ben Fuqua | LHP | Houston Memorial

Big LH Frame. FB up to 86 in this outing and we have seen him up to 87 in previous outings. Showed the ability to spin the breaking ball and comepte when he didn't have his "A" game. The arm works and he will throw harder with continued development.
