QUICK HITS
Finley Wilson | 2028 | OF/LHP | Melissa | L/L | 5’6”
Athletic player with a good frame that will continue to add strength. Explosiveness is present, and he ran a 6.91 60, projecting as an easy plus runner as he matures. Moves well on the field with the ability to handle all three outfield spots. Throws show carry, with arm strength projecting to above-average at the high school level. At the plate, shows a solid hit approach with consistent line-drive contact working gap to gap. Impact potential will continue to grow with added strength and physical maturity.
On the mound, the arm works well and repeats the delivery. Fastball touched 85 mph in a brief bullpen, working both sides of the plate with life. Shows feel for the breaking ball and the ability to land it in the zone. Overall, the athleticism and tool set stand out. Impressed in the workout setting; development will hinge on continued strength gains and how the tools translate in game action. Definite follow.
Bryson Gilbert | 2028 | RHP | Mansfield Lake Ridge | R/R | 6’4” 195
Long, physical frame with plenty of room to continue adding strength. Arm works cleanly and shows developing arm speed, with delivery expected to firm as he gains experience. Fastball has been up to 85 mph, and he shows feel to spin the baseball with depth to the breaking ball. Still a bit raw, but the foundation is strong with plenty of time to develop. A young arm worth tracking closely.
James Burchfield | 2026 | OF/1B | Denton Ryan | L/L | 5’11” 190
Solid, strong build with room for additional strength. Ran a 7.14 60 and shows steady defensive ability both in the outfield and at first base. Offensive upside stands out - consistently produces hard contact with exit velocities over 105 mph, showing the ability to leave the yard to all fields. Power is the carrying tool at present, with multiple balls driven deep with height and carry. Hit approach can continue to refine, but the raw power is real.
Hamilton Klint | 2027 | INF | Plano West | R/R | 5’11” 175
Athletic infielder with a solid build that will continue to add strength. Ran a 6.99 60, projecting as a plus runner as explosiveness continues to develop. Defensive actions are coming along with improving footwork, and arm strength projects to average to slightly above at the high school level. At the plate, shows a solid approach with consistent hard contact and exit velocities north of 101 mph. Power is trending up. Athletic profile with upside - one to watch.
Gavin Morris | 2028 | OF | Southlake Carroll | R/R | 5’10” 175
Nice athletic frame with room to add strength. Ran a 6.88 60, projecting as a plus runner with speed likely to tick up as he matures physically. Moves well defensively and has the tools to handle all three outfield positions, profiling well in center field. Arm strength projects to above-average at the high school level. At the plate, the approach is developing, with flashes of hard contact when squared. Athletic outfielder with speed and upside - follow closely.
Mason Brower | 2028 | OF/RHP | Keller | L/R | 5’10” 150
Lean, athletic build with room for added strength. Ran a 7.12 60, with speed expected to improve as his body matures. Steady defender in the outfield who moves well to the baseball. Raw arm strength is present, and carry will improve as he continues to stay behind the ball more consistently. Offensively, shows a solid line-drive approach with contact ability; impact potential will grow with strength gains and physical development.
