FRANKLIN, TX -
TWELVE MAROON
Kade Sanchez, SS, Caldwell HS, 2019
Uncommitted. Sanchez is a spark-plug, high energy player that was all over the field on Friday as he never stopped moving on defense. He has quick footwork and smooth actions and takes good angles on ground balls.
Austin Teel, LHP, College Station HS, 2019
Uncommitted. The left-hander works from a high slot with some effort and deception in his delivery. Even though his fastball was only 81-82 mph it gets on hitters quickly. His curveball has good 1-7 shape at 67-69 mph and got more consistent in the later innings. His changeup came in at 74 mph and Teel recorded 9 punchouts on the day.
SOUTH TEXAS SLIDERS QUILLIN
Quinton Martin, RHP/IF/OF, Sweeny HS, 2019
Uncommitted. The right-hander put together a solid outing on the mound, working from a high-¾ slot with a clean arm stroke. His fastball sat 84-85 mph, topping out a handful of times at 86 mph. He has outstanding feel for three pitches in the strike zone. His curveball was his best off-speed pitch that got up to 74 mph excellent downward action. The shape varies between 11-5 and 12-6, but he was able to use it both early and late in the count, ranging in velocity from 70-74 mph, dipping to 67 only a couple of times in the 5th inning. His changeup was 76 mph with fastball arm speed and arm side fade.
Garrett Arredondo, RHP/3B, George Ranch HS, 2019
Uncommitted. Strong frame. The right-handed works from a high-¾ slot with a clean arm stroke. His fastball has good downward tilt at 82-84 mph. He throws a good downer curveball at 72-74 mph, and topped out at 75 mph.
TWELVE SILVER
Cade Sitka, C/RHP, Foster HS, 2019
Uncommitted. The right-hander works from a high-¾ slot. His fastball started out at 86-87 mph, topping out at 88 mph. He settled in later in the game to the 83-84 mph range. His curveball was 70-71 mph with 11-5 shape, topping out at 72 mph once.
