January 6, 2026
On Friday, January 2nd, the PB Texas staff traveled to Willis High School in Willis, TX, to host the North Houston Preseason ID, an open event for all high school classes.
Players made their way to Willis HS 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
Keagan Fosdick | C | Tomball | 2028 | R/R | 5’8” 172
Fosdick is a strong, physical catcher with the profile of a future middle-of-the-order bat. He shows good hand and bat speed with natural feel for the barrel, producing exit velocities up to 99 mph while backspinning balls on a lower flight path. Offensively, the strength and impact are real. Defensively, he received well behind the plate and showed a quick release on throws, posting a best pop time of 2.04. Offensive upside with a solid catching foundation.
Jaxson Harris | C/RHP | Tomball Memorial | 2028 | R/R | 5’8” 176
Arm strength stands out as one of Harris’s biggest assets. On the mound, he sat 82-83 mph with arm-side run from a short, compact arm path and showed life to the fastball. The slider flashes as a quality pitch, showing sweep with late depth. Behind the plate, he registered a best pop time of 1.94, highlighted by a compact stroke and quick release. Strong-armed catcher with real two-way value.
Troy Gonzalez | C/3B | Lutheran South | 2027 | R/R | 5’8” 204
Gonzalez shows the ability to drive the baseball to all fields with authority. He swings with balance, good weight transfer, and a clean barrel release, producing exit velocities in the 100-103 mph range. Behind the plate, he worked with soft hands and solid glove actions, recording a best pop time of 1.94. Physical bat with impact potential and defensive versatility.

There is significant present strength with a well-proportioned, physical frame. Defensively, he showed solid glove work behind the plate and recorded a best pop time of 2.08. Impact bat with strength-driven upside and defensive versatility at catcher or first base.
