Ranked as the No. 7 player in Texas for the 2027 class, RHP George Ferguson (Abilene, 2027) delivered an outstanding bullpen session that showcased his impressive strike-throwing ability. Standing 6’3” as a sophomore, he features a three-pitch mix headlined by a fastball topping out at 91 mph, a tight slider at 76–77 mph, and a changeup at 80–81 mph. Despite his size and youth, Ferguson displays an efficient, repeatable arm stroke, allowing him to pound the zone with all three offerings. With a starter’s profile and the potential for more velocity, he’s clearly another exciting West Texas arm to keep on the radar this spring.
