White Vs. Black Game Highlights

5/26/2024

Smith “SMITTY” Washington lV (2025 RHP, Fort Worth, TX) up to 92 mph free and easy out front living 87-90 mph. Super explosive arm talent. Good sllider and curveball to mix. 

Cason Helpert (2026 SS, Robinson, TX) twitchy athlete who lived on the barrel. Drove one for an inside the park home run and has good turns around the bag. Solid foot speed in all facets. 

Jacob McBride (2027 RHP, Houston, TX) had a solid two hit day and worked the barrel to all fields. Stays inside the ball real well with strength behind it. Really showed out on the hill, 77-80 with pace and tempo. Spun a slurvy low-70s slider. Super impressive. 

Clay Washburn (2026 3B, Prosper, TX) roped one to the gap for a double. Real strength to hands and gets into both halves well, gaining a ton of ground fore as a result. Got outs in relief. 

Adrian Bellanger (2027 SS, Spicewood, TX) good showing for his age and had a couple hits on the day. Worked mostly to pull side and clears his hips well at impact. Good young impact potential with solid strength off the barrel. 

Cyrus Calmes (2027 1B, Independence, LA) got outs in big spots, closed the game on a high note against a quality squad. Easy pace a tempo, mostly high-70s but there is plenty more in store. 


Red V. White Game Highlights

5/26/2024

Jordan Davis (2026 RHP, Baytown, TX) solid armside run generating up to 86 mph today. Short slider to mix as well, good mover with a ton to like in the frame. 

Ryder Miller (2026 OF, Huffman, TX) loud barrel to the pull-side gap for a double to cap his day. Got extended out front and let the hands eat a good bit. Big wiry strength in frame. 

Kolby Brown (2026 RHP, Warr Acres, OK) big day at the plate with a triple to tack on an RBI. Pieced one to the gap and raced around the bags in the process. Awfully good feel for the barrel this weekend. 

Yaniel Hernandez (2025 C, Little Elm, TX) jumped in on the double party and found to the left-center gap. Has sound defensive traits behind the plate with some heaviness to his barrel ability. 

Brant Usherwood (2026 C, Artesia, NM) found a good barrel through the left side for a hit. Some easy whip to the barrel and projectable strength. Lots to like on both sides. 

Jaxon Baptist (2025 RHP, El Paso, TX) athletic arm pumped up to 84 mph with a potent two-plane slider. Works with easy pace and tempo, checks a lot of boxes for the next level. 

Nicholas Grissom (2026 SS, Frisco, TX) good day at the plate and on the defensive side a things. Lined one hard through the left side for a knock and flashed the leather a good bit in game up the middle on the dirt. 

Tyler King (2027 SS, Newark, TX) finished with a double and put together great swings all morning long. Has really held his own for his graduating class. 


Sunshine Texas Day 1 Game Highlights

5/25/2024

Cale Wigington (2026 C, Atoka, OK) notched the first hit of game one with his first inning barrel to left field for a single on a center cut fastball. His early game success followed up a strong round of batting practice as he continued to showcase the bat to ball skills. 

 

Cole Taylor (2026 1B, Austin, TX) Picked up a base hit to left field on a fastball in his first at bat. He is able to uses his length well getting extended out front while the bat path shows the ability to match the pitch plane leaving him in the hitting zone for a longer time.

 

Kolby Brown (2026 RHP, Warr Acres, OK) put together a strong showing in game action getting it done on both sides of the ball. On the mound he worked an efficient three innings with the fastball topping out at 83 mph while mixing in a quality horizontal slider for swings and misses. At the plate he also added a loud barrel to the pull side. 

 

Ryder Chamblee (2026 OF, Robinson, TX) looked good in his two innings of work on the mound working primarily off his mid 80’s fastball that topped out at 88 mph. The fastball showed some short arm side run at times with riding life. Off of the fastball he showed a mid 70’s slider with shorter darting actions as his primary off speed pitch. 

 

-Colt Olinger

Nicholas Grissom (2026 SS, Frisco, TX)- Solid two innings of work out of the 'pen in game two of action, ran it up to 86-mph with feel for the strike zone and could land his breaker as well in any count. Athletic kid, good feel up there and should project out to throw harder and continue to improve across the board. 

Yaniel Hernandez (2025 C, Little Elm, TX)- Well struck double that burned the left-fielder and bounced up against the wall out there. Stronger prospect, primary backstop with some raw power in there and could continue to improve.

Jordan Yearby (2024 OF, Plano, TX)- Pair of hits including a triple where he wheeled around to third in 11.84 seconds. Just a quicker twitch prospect with a legit run tool and quick first step, showed he can handle himself in the box as well with solid defensive actions in the outfield to pair.

Colby Sommer (2025 SS, Southlake, TX)- Showed off good actions up the middle all game long & collected a solid barrel to the pull-side. Good player overall and has present baseball skills that can translate to the next level of the game, real chance to stick at short with this present array of defensive traits. 

Ryan Benavides (2026 SS, Friendswood, TX)- Premier defensive skills and actions on display all day long, with multiple plays being made to both sides and showed feel to drop the slot and throw on the move. Collected a well struck single in game action too, always hits and is a legit defender at shortstop right now with a good internal clock and pulse. 

Luke Kemp (2025 OF, Wall, TX)- Pair of hits in the final game of the day, working the pull-side pretty heavily with good results. Solid athlete and tested well across the board, good traits here with baseball IQ and always hustles.

Parker Davis (2026 LHP, Fair Oaks Ranch, TX)- Big southpaw rolled through three innings of work with six strikeouts to his credit. Ran it up to 83-mph and filled the zone, had feel for the off-speed and could sequence his pitches well throughout.

Sunshine Texas Blogs Batting Practice Highlights

5/25/2024

Cole Taylor (2026 1B, Austin, TX) physical frame to dream upon long term. Gets into low tension juice and impacted the pull-side gap consistently. Loose wrists flick the barrel out front with real impact carry. 

Luke Kemp (2025 OF, Wall, TX) athletic, wiry build with big time bat speed. Got the barrel out front and impacted it to all fields. Whip to barrel really stood out. Name to watch. 

Smith “SMITTY” Washington lV (2025 RHP, Fort Worth, TX) strong frame that generates big power potential. Drops the head and gets the barrel out front consistently. Impacted the ball pull side. Strength really projects big. 

Jaxon Baptist (2025 RHP, El Paso, TX) really lived on the barrel in his round. Got extended out front with a loose set of wrists. Whip to barrel and a clean finish with hitterish feel in the box.

Ryan Benavides (2026 SS, Friendswood, TX) oozes upside at the plate physical traits on the left side with real impact strength. Lifts the ball with intent, huge projection to the frame and more than holds his own in the bat speed department. 

Jordan Yearby (2024 OF, Plano, TX) real strength to the hands and plenty of heaviness to the barrel. Really impacts it with ease and put together a real quality round with a sound approach to match.
