Timothy
Teixeira

Teixeira's been somewhat of a pop-up prospect thus far into the summer, catching our attention at the Super 17 and showing even louder stuff in his start on Friday. The 6-foot-1, 206-pound sturdy right-hander filled the zone up with a mid-to-upper-80s fastball, peaking at 89 mph from a true ¾ slot with upper-quadrant life at times. Teixeira spun a sweeping slider that plays well off his fastball, working from a similar arm angle. His power stuff is certain to generate some buzz throughout the summer and Teixeira’s an arrow-up prospect in Missouri’s incoming junior group.
