1/31/12: Courtney Hawkins made his mark as a top prospect as a sophomore at Carroll High School in Corpus Christi, Texas, one of the most successful programs in that state. However, he did it as a right handed pitcher, not as an outfielder, regularly topping out in the low-90s as a 6-foot-3, 200-plus pound 15-year old. Many scouts even then thought that Hawkins might have a higher ceiling as a powerful right handed hitter. When he came to the 2010 Perfect Game Junior National Showcase, he had just finished pitching in the Texas high school playoff finals and performed just as a hitter without taking the mound and received a PG grade of 10. Over the last year and a half it became increasingly obvious that Hawkins was not only a better outfield prospect, but that he had the physical tools to be one of the top outfield prospects in the 2012 class. He rarely pitched last summer, and the couple of innings he picked up here and there were to fill a spare inning, and he was still touching 91-92 mph. Where Hawkins really bloomed as a prospect was at the Area Code Games and Perfect Game All-American Classic during the first half of August. He was clearly one of the top power hitters at the AC’s and improved with virtually every at bat as you could see his confidence growing. He hit a monstrous home run onto the street beyond the distant left field fence at spacious Blair Field on the last day of the Area Codes to put an exclamation point on it. Hawkins then did the same thing at the All-American Classic workouts. While Joey Gallo rightfully got huge amounts of attention for his 442-foot skyscraper to right centerfield during the game, Hawkins hit a ball during batting practice that was equally impressive, a laser beam to straight away centerfield that easily cleared the centerfield fence and rattled off the base of the batters eye. A scout remarked shortly afterwards, “You can watch plenty of big league BPs and not see a ball hit that hard very often.” Hawkins continued his string of dominant and eye opening performances at the WWBA World Championships in Jupiter in late October while playing for the Houston Banditos, slamming six extra-base hits in pool play before cooling off in the playoffs. While power is his obvious plus-plus tool, the rest of Hawkins' tool package is high level as well. He’s run as low as 6.62 in the 60 and is a very aggressive baserunner who will steal bases and take the extra base on a ball to the alley. While his body type is the kind that you might project to slow down, he has such explosive athleticism that it might not happen for a while. His arm strength from right field is definitely an asset as well. The one area where Hawkins will be looking to continue to improve is with his pitch recognition. He is an aggressive hitter who attacks the ball and is prone to commit early on off-speed pitches, not an uncommon thing for a young power hitter. If he can square up enough balls, scouts and his future managers and coaches will live with a few strikeouts.

Courtney Hawkins is a 2012 RHP/OF with a 6-2 213 lb. frame from Corpus Christi, TX who attends Corpus Christi Carroll. Hawkins showed very well with the bat, spread stance, quick, strong hands, easy power and drives balls to both gaps, top prospect hitting tools. Did not pitch at this event as he had recently pitched his high school team to the Texas State Championships, but we have seen him in the low 90's and he is a top prospect on the mound.
