We are getting closer to the end of the regular season. So, as I said I would do, let's start talking about the 2026 HS signees.
These are the 3-4 that I don't believe will make it through the MLB draft in July and go unsigned by the MLB team.
1. Grady Emerson a SS and is considered the #1 or #2 draft pick. He has been the top national player for 2 yrs. He hits left handed, but throws right. He may not have the power, but can hit to any part of the field.
2. Beau Peterson a 3rd baseman, bats left side throws right handed. He may not be a 3rd baseman in the pros. He is to good of a draft prospect to not get drafted. He may be a 1st baseman or corner outfielder in the pros.
3. Trey Rangel RHP. With 4 pitches and the fastball at 96-99 mph. Haven't really seen any issues for him.
4. Brody Bumila a 6'9" 245lbs. Lefty. He has a 4 pitch with a fastball that goes from 96-100 mph. The change up closer to 90. Curve ball and slider that are in the 80s. His only issue seems to be control as he has currently 8 HBP in 19 innings.
An outside chance of being drafted is
5. Jax Robinson. Catcher great throwing arm. Works with pitchers really well. Solid at bats.
Again just a guess on my part, but most outlets that are non Texas outlets say these 5 are possible, but it's up to scouts and teams seeing who is possible in signing.
This is just 5 of the 20 signees.
Again I didn't think that Crossland and a couple of others from this freshman class would be on campus. So, the 5 listed could make it on campus.
I be getting to more of the 2026 class over the weekend.
