Top Prospect Games: Dallas - Quick Hits (Upperclass)
July 9, 2024
TEXAS - On Monday, July 8, we hosted the Top Prospect Games: Dallas at Dallas Baptist University. This invite-only event featured players from all high school classes that have earned their invite with our scouting staff. The day started with position players running a 60, throwing from defensive positions, and taking two rounds of BP. Following the workout, we went into simulated gameplay where the pitching data was recorded. Today, we take a look at some of the upperclass participants that stood out.
***For notes mentioned, I am grading against ML Players. If I say that a player has below avg arm strength, that is against ML Players, not their peers in HS.*** - North TX ScoutingDirector, Max Semler
2025's
Micah Green OF / ANDY DEKANEY H S, TX / 2025Rankings StateRank: 186 / POS: 43
5’11 200 Strength to body with room to add. Micah has raw tools, needs to make adjustments to achieve. Tick above avg runner. Barrel/hands in good launch position to start, hands separate with stride to far away from body, nearly barring out. Even with this action to start shows bat speed present with hands speed as well. Some linear movement to the backside, falls back at contact, costing him. Does show hard contact, HR in game to LF. Moves fine to ball in OF, fringe avg arm that will be avg in future. Front shoulder opens early, costing him carry. 90 velo from OF. Mid level D1’s and JC’s should be taking a look. |

6’3 200 Good build/frame to add strength. Shows avg bat and hand speed. Wide base with top tap, lower ½ works in swing. Lots of hand movement to start, with barrel tip present. Never gets hands and barrel in a consistent launch position. Swing gets long with the barrel tip. 6.76 60. OF will have avg arm in future, doesn’t use lower ½ well in throwing from OF. One the mound. Showed avg arm action. Inward turn in delivery. Around the zone with stuff. Split, presently is best pitch with plus action, tail/sink with deception present. 76-79. FB 84-86.

Ethan Downum OF / Reedy, TX / 2025Rankings StateRank: 104 / POS: 19
6’0 160 Good build to add strength. Good player that I have written up 2 times. Saw him with his HS team in spring and wrote him up after an event this summer. Solid timing to swing, finds barrel. Gap to gap doubles guy now, will develop power with physical strength added. I like the future with the bat. Solid defender in the OF, moves well to baseball. Arm works, will have avg arm in future. To expedite development of arm strength, needs to get on a long toss program. This is a good player/hitter that mid level D1’s should be checking in on. Plays game right way. |
Jack Pettigrew OF / OF / Grapevine, TX / 2025Rankings StateRank: 140 / POS: 25
5’11 177 Room to add strength. Hitting has bat/hand speed, shows decent contact, upside present with hit adjustments. Upright stance with short stride, rotational backside, never gets anything going with his body. Opportunities present to make adjustments and improve contact, consistency, and impact. 6.74 60. Needs a long toss program for arm strength development, glove hand doesn’t help in throwing. Athletic player with a good body to add strength. Raw tools to work with, JC’s should be taking a look at this player. Upside. |
Matthew McKnight LHP / Marcus, TX / 20256’2 185 Plenty of room to add strength. Good arm action. Cross step delivery. Avg strike thrower. FB 82-85, CB 68-72 showing avg spin.

2026's
Jaxon Casselberry OF / RHP / Argyle, TX / 2026Rankings StateRank: 117 / POS: 20
6’0 182 3rd look at Jaxon this year. Saw him this spring with HS team and at previous event. Good build for future strength. Athleticism. 6.74 60. Solid defender, will have at least an avg arm in future. Good approach to hit with power coming. I like this player. Colleges should be recruiting him. Could develop into a pro prospect. |
Jaeden Wilson OF / OF / Allen, TX / 2026Rankings StateRank: 129 / POS: 22
6’0 173 Great build and frame to add strength. Avg bat/hand speed, barrel in good launch position. Scoop swing, dumps barrel, rarely gets barrel on plane…when he does, good swing and contact. Upright stance with slight crouch, drawback with stride foot prior to going forward. Stride foot lands back where it started. Rotational backside, over rotates back foot losing power and impact. 6.77 60. Believe he will have an avg arm in future, cutoff circle to back side. Upside play. Will get stronger, some hit approach opportunities for improvement. |

5’8 160 Good frame/build to add strength. Line drive contact with ability to find the barrel. Simple approach to hit with short swing. Good AB’s in game play. Defensively has some versatility, makes plays. Solid actions and footwork in the infield, hands are good. Best suited for 2B. Will have a near avg arm in future. Moved well in the OF. Saw Jake in spring for PCA and during previous events. Can play the game, is not going to wow with big tools. Will make plays on defense, have quality AB’s and end up with some hard hit balls. Everyone wants prospects at every position, give me a player like this everyday to help the tooled up prospects win. Colleges should be watching progress |

6’1 195 Solid build with room to add strength. Crouched stance, lacks rhythm and timing to approach with quick/abbr stride and hand load.
