Drew Cross, Mount Pleasant (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: C/3B RHH/C Will add strength to solid build. Moves well. Shows defensive versatility, catcher over infielder. Receives well, quality/consistent pop times to 2nd with carry to throws. Infield is solid with opportunities to improve present. Solid bat/power combo in future, firm approach and swing with opportunities to refine. Good player to watch develop.
Body: 5-9, 189-pounds. Solid build/frame. Good lower 1/2 showing some strength. Will continue to add strength in future.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Lower 1/2 works fine in swing with rotational back foot, explode back foot/lower 1/2 forward into firm front side. Exploding lower 1/2 will add to impact. Barrel/hands in good position to launch. Solid path to zone with barrel. Expect bat/hand speed to increase with added physical strength in future. Pull approach. 68.3 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 88.9 mph. 345' max distance. Solid bat/power combo in future with opportunities for adjustments. Solid base to work from with both approach and swing. Simple adjustments.
Arm: RH. C-80 mph. INF-91 mph. Arm works, arm quickness present with carry to throws.
Defense: 1.79-1.87 pop times. INF..avg 1st step, does a nice job getting body to baseball to field. Decent at playing thru baseball with feet. Hands work okay, firm fielding baseball out front…fields deep. Work for better glove positioning, shows palm of glove to baseball to field when possible. Catcher. Quickness present to exchange, feet work setting to throw. Hands work receiving.
ATH: 7.26 runner in the 60. 1.68 and 3.97 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Solid runner, nice lean forward. Expect speed will tick up slightly in future as he adds strength. 17.60 max vertical.

A standout performer behind the plate, C Drew Cross (Mount Pleasant, 2027) has established himself as one of the top 2027 catchers in Texas, thanks to his powerful arm (80 mph) and lightning-quick transfer that produce pop times of 1.79–1.87. He effectively eliminates the running game, translating his workouts into real-game success through his ability to control the basepaths. Equally important is his in-game consistency, where he displays advanced receiving and blocking skills that cement his value as a defensive anchor. Offensively, Cross continues to show more and more at the plate. Boasting a max exit velocity of 95.8 mph and a 91 mph infield velocity, he has the raw athleticism and strength to impact the ball and drive it to all fields. As part of a talented Mount Pleasant squad heading into the spring, Cross will look to maintain his high level of play in both practice and competitive settings, making him a must-follow prospect in the 2027 class.

Drew Cross, Mount Pleasant (TX), 2027

Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, gets stuck at times, not getting fully rotated. Slight linear movement forward with back foot, develop linear movement working to drive back foot/hip forward into firm front side maximizing use of lower 1/2 increasing ability to impact baseball. Barrel/hands in good launch position. Dumps barrel at times. Pull approach. Work to control barrel at contact, keep barrel on plane. Learn to use all fields, hitting where pitched. 69 mph bat speed with 11 G's of rotational acceleration.

Arm: RH. C-81 mph. INF-89 mph. Catcher…Arm works, quick release, solid exchange. Raw arm strength can improve. Solid pop times in workout are legit. Inf…arm works with carry to throws.
Defense: 1.83-1.95 pop times. Catcher…Solid receiver. Hands work in zone catching. Must improve blocking, late at times. Like the upside behind the plate. Athleticism present. Needs to improve blocking to achieve. Inf…feet work getting body to baseball to field. Nice job of playing thru baseball.
