Rankings StateRank: 181 / POS: 25

COMMITMENT: St. Edwards University

SCOUTING REPORT: Physical 6-foot-7, 195-pound frame with a strong lower half and wide shoulders. The big left-hander works from a high ¾ arm angle with quick tempo in his delivery. He works in-line to the plate with some effort involved, and has an athletic finish towards the third base line.

Jack Granack RHP / OF / Legacy Prep Christian, TX / 2019

Rankings StateRank: 109 / POS: 33

COMMITMENT: St. Edwards University

SCOUTING REPORT: Projectable 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame with more room to pack on strength. Granack has a long loose arm stroke from a high arm slot. He takes a short simple rocker step up into his balance point, where he gets some torque in his hips, his hips lead him down the mound, he stays back in a strong backside, creates separation, has a strong glove side, and finishes with a flat back in his follow through.

Robert Fortenberry LHP / OF / Frisco Wakeland, TX / 2021

Rankings StateRank: 23 / POS: 2 OverallRank: 151 / POS: 17

COMMITMENT: Texas Christian University

SCOUTING REPORT: He has a projectable, long-limbed frame at 5-foot-11, 168-pounds, with broad shoulders. The left-hander works from a high-¾ slot with a medium arm stroke and a tall and fall delivery. Shows good feel for three pitches, all three pitches come from the same window and he repeats his delivery.
