Bastrop vs. Anderson

By: Ben Green
Texas State Director

Cooper Voigt | LHP | Bastrop | 2027 | Uncommitted
Voigt has a long, lean frame that should be able to add strength down the line, especially in the lower half. He worked 83-85 in an outing where he was coming back from injury and on a pitch count. 4 scoreless innings where he allowed only 1 hit and struck out 4. More to come from the southpaw as he continues to develop.

Hank Rippy | SS/3B | Anderson | 2027 | University of Texas Commit
Rippy is an athletic LHH that shows a solid glove on the left side of the INF. bat speed and ability ot impact the baseball are present. Can use the whole field. Pull side double in this look.

Alamo Heights vs. New Braunfels

By: Ben Green
Texas State Director

Valentin Ceballos | RHP | New Braunfels | 2028
Ceballos carries a 6’2”, 185lb projectable frame. Polished mechanics and a clean arm. Feel for spin with the CB up to 2800 in this look, didn’t land it consistently but is a quality pitch when right. Flashed a cutter at 83. The FB was 88-90, touching 91 3 times. Gave up some weak hits but battled out of jams and ended up going 5 scoreless. There is a lot to like moving forward from the 2028 RHP.

Tate Moore | OF/LHP | New Braunfels | 2028
3 hits on the night from the 6,1”, 190lb sophomore, including a few hard hit balls and a hustle double and 4 RBI. The swing plays and the frame is projectable. Has shown some serious promise on the mound as well. Another solid 2028 at New Braunfels.

Henry Holt | OF | New Braunfels | 2026 | Uncommitted
The uncommitted senior had a pair of hits, with a bases clearing double that busted the game open. Solid approach that uses the big part of the field and a strong presence at the top of the order.

Blayne Namken | C | New Braunfels | 2028
Namken is a solid defender that receives, blocks, and throws well from behind the dish. Battles at the plate and had an RBI single after a long AB. The swing plays from the right side and is currently a gap to gap approach. Strong, compact frame that will continue to add strength in the lower half.

Iowa Colony vs. Angleton

By: Kyle Kilgo
South Texas Area Scout

Landon Brown | RHP | Iowa Colony | 2026 | Mississippi State Commit
Big right handed power arm. Weapons include arm strength, movement to FB, command of 4 pitches and two swing/miss secondary pitches. He has the ability to shift gears and make adjustments on the mound. I like the makeup and competitiveness. Went a complete game shutout this week with 16 K’s. Interested to see if he makes it to Mississippi State or signs in the draft.

Braxton Beaty | LHP | Angleton | 2026 | LSU Commit
Beaty went 4 IP with 0 runs, 0 hits and 11 K’s this past week. Completely dominant performance on the mound. Fb sat 90-92 and T93. What really stood out was how the movement to his FB and CB have progressed from early spring. FB had solid ASR and ran off hitters barrels. The back foot CB to RHH got chased all day. He definitely showcased the weapons it takes to compete at a high level.

Ryan Thompson | OF | Shadow Creek | 2026 | Uncommitted

Repeatable delivery and strike thrower. 7 IP with 1 hit, 0 earned runs, 1 BB and 14 K’s. Side note, pitched in the Little League World Series. Good player to keep an eye on.

Lubin Rincon | SS | Shadow Creek | 2027 | Texas Commit
Projectable frame/build who will continue to add strength and size. Quality movement patterns at the plate with a short/quick stroke and some adjustability in the bat. Moves well defensively and is a rangy SS with a solid arm. A lot to like here.

Kaleb Diaz | INF/RHP | Pasadena South Houston | 2029
Diaz is a starting pitcher/infielder for South Houston, who hits in their 3 or 4 hole as a FR. Strong competitor on both sides of the ball. Hit a 3 run HR to give the Trojans a lead. He will continue to develop over the next few years.
