Texas Scouting Director

The 2024 fall season has come to an end, which means it's almost time for the 2025 Texas spring season to kick-off, and it's also time for an update to our state rankings. Today, we start a month long stretch of state rankings updates, and we begin with the 2025 class. We've expanded the list to 300 prospects and although there wasn't a lot of movement at the top, there were still plenty of risers throughout the entire group. Below, we give a snapshot of the Top 10, dive into the Top 5, and list out the top uncommitted players for this class. Be sure to follow us, across all of our social media platforms, as we continue to provide more content and coverage on our state rankings update.

TOP 5 (DEEP DIVE)

1. 2025 SS Kayson Cunningham (SA Johnson HS) - Texas Commit

Built in the mold of fellow Texan, and a 2022 first-round pick, Jett Williams (Mets), Cunningham has dominated the national circuit, especially when facing premium arms. Seeming to be fueled by any and all doubters, the shorter-stature, 5-foot-9, 170-pounder routinely has exceeded expectations both at the plate and on defense. A left-handed hitter with some sneaky thunder in the barrel, Cunningham generates exciting quickness with a tight, direct path before exploding out of the box while running angry. Though some will say the profile tells of a second baseman's future, the San Antonio native holds exceptional glove-to-hand capability with a quick release and strong arm that outshines the majority of his peers at the shortstop position, and it would be wise to not (ever) count him out.

2. 2025 C Omar Serna (Lutheran South Academy) - LSU Commit

The LSU recruit has continued to punish baseballs when the Prep Baseball staff is in attendance. At 6 '2 225, he has an imposing presence in the box. He has shown some of the best in game power in the country at some of the biggest stages. He can leave the yard to all fields and shows the ability to shorten up with 2 strikes and use the big part of the field. He has a plus arm behind the plate that can limit a run game. The Houston product continues to be one of the backstops in the country.

3. 2025 LHP Johnny Slawinski III (Johnson City HS) - Texas A&M Commit

There is a real chance that Slawinski turns into THE helium arm of the summer. A silky smooth, dynamic mover with exceptional stacking and extension, the Texan southpaw worked 90-92 with a quick arm to go along with perhaps the most projectable pitching frame at the event. Athletic at 6-foot-3, 180-pounds, there is still plenty more strength to come on his wide-shouldered frame which should only help assist in driving the velocity even higher. Delivering to a near ¾ slot while throwing over a slightly higher front side that leveled at foot strike (with what appeared to be 7 feet down the mound), Slawinski showcased the makings of two above average secondary offerings including a slider (77-78, 2500s) that flashed sharpness and a changeup (82-83, 2300s) that was thrown for strikes. However, it was the whiffy-fastball that generated in-zone-misses against a slew of talented hitting prospects that is sure to elicit high praise from analytics departments. In all, it was an exciting and enticing look at a future left-handed starter, and one who might only be scratching the surface as to how good he might be.

4. 2025 SS Nico Partida (Pearland HS) - Texas A&M Commit

Partida has shown himself to not only one of the best players in the country, but also one of the best competitors. He has competed at the highest levels and dominated at every stop. If it was for his High School team or USA, Partida is a winner. He has a mid 90's fastball that he can touch higher with. He has a hard breaking ball that shows quality depth and can be a true swing and miss pitch. Offensively, Partida had a big year at Pearland and showed off more power. He plays a solid short with the obvious big arm. The Future Aggie is one of the best winners in the country.

5. 2025 RHP Marcos Paz (Hebron HS) - LSU Commit

Usually when an arm is sidelined with an injury they tend to take a pretty big dip in rankings, but that is how convicted we are in the stuff and the competitiveness that Paz displays.. When healthy, Paz shows elite pitch ability with a slow heartbeat to go with plus stuff. He features a mid 90's heater he can sink and throw at the top of the zone. His breaker has spin north of 3,000 rpm's with true s/m potential. But my favorite pitch of his has always been the change. He throws it with supreme confidence and he throws it to any batter in any count. He shows the ability to kill spin and really sink it. The future LSU Tiger has been a blast to watch throughout his HS career.
