Tristin Gaines, Waller (TX), 2028
Positional Profile: SS/OF RHH/INF/OF Good build/frame to add strength in future. Solid defender in future with versatility present. Like the bat/power combo in future with adjustments. Nice player to to watch develop.
Body: 6-2, 178-pounds. Projects well physically. Long/lanky build with room to add strength in future.
Hit: RHH. Open stance, short stride closing off slightly. Linear movement to back foot, works well. Would recommend working to develop some length to stride allowing for linear movement to work driving lower 1/2 forward while hitting into firm front side. Barrel/hands in good position to launch. Work to develop extension thru baseball, cuts off swing currently after contact. 70.1 mph bat speed with 7 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 80.7 mph. 305' max distance. Young hitter with solid bat/power combo projected. Opportunities for adjustments present to increase impact and consistency. Will add strength in future increasing bat speed and quickness.
Arm: RH. INF-85 mph. OF-82 mph. OF Arm works well, body works in throwing mechanics. INF Arm works well. Will get better with added strength.
Defense: Moves to baseball well. Nice job of breaking down to field. Behind step crow hop, hurts momentum setting to throw. INF Solid actions. Hands work, would like to see field baseball more out front and working to play thru baseball at all times. Nice infielder.
ATH: 7.03 runner in the 60. Good mover. Solid start, runs well with good good body lean. Speed will increase.

Tristin Gaines (Waller, 2028) - The 6'2" 108lb freshman is an easy mover with a natural athleticism that shines on the diamond. Defensively, he profiles up the middle with smooth actions at shortstop and plenty of arm strength, while also projecting as a potential plus defender in center field. At the plate, Gaines utilizes a line-drive approach, staying in the big part of the field with consistent contact. As he adds strength to his frame, he’s likely to develop significant power. A dual-sport athlete, Gaines also served as QB1 for Waller as a freshman, showcasing his all-around athletic ability.
