Now a senior at Rockwall-Heath, RHP Ian Rister has seen a notable velocity spike this offseason, with his fastball sitting 87–89 mph. Standing 6’3” and continuing to add strength, he looks more physical on the mound and maintains his smooth, low three-quarter delivery. His slider now operates at 75–79 mph with spin rates north of 2600 rpm, providing sharp, late bite, while his 80 mph changeup (1360 rpm) flashes deception and sink. Committed to Grayson, Rister appears poised for a standout final campaign at the high school level.
