By Kam Peterson

Hitters

Braden Hernandez (Canes Southwest Clementz 2024)

Canes Southwest Canes 2024’s Braden Hernandez had quite the weekend to kick off his summer campaign. The uncommitted 2024 from Reedy (TX) showed a unique skill set at the plate as he impressed from both sides. The switch-hitter displayed a mature approach at the dish and looked to drive the ball to all fields. Really unique prospect in this one.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 8-15, 3 2B, 3B, HR, 4 RBI, 6R, 3 SB

Jacob Byrd (Dallas Tigers 17U L. Hernandez)

Dallas Tigers 17U L. Hernandez’s Jacob Byrd put on a clinic both at the plate and in the field this weekend at the Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff. The uncommitted 2022 from Denton Guyer (TX) racked up two triples and a ridiculous seven stolen bases, which really allowed him to show off some serious wheels. Byrd continued an impressive weekend at shortstop, where he made several terrific plays in the field and showcased the ability to get to balls up the middle and in the 5-6 hole.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 7-10, 2B, 2 3B, 5 RBI, 6R, 4 BB, 7 SB

Evan Mustari (SWAT 17U Stoll/Johnston)

SWAT 17U Stoll/Johnston’s Evan Mustari was a doubles machine this weekend at the Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff. The uncommitted 2022 from Edmond North (OK) led an impressive SWAT Academy team at the dish and really drove the ball well to left and LCF. The RHH utilized good bat speed and extension to stay through pitches up in the zone. Mustari has a nice, athletic frame and will only grow stronger with time.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 7-15, 4 2B, 4 RBI, 4 RBI, 2R

Cole Faulkner (Texas Cannons 2024 Rumfield)

Texas Cannons 2024 Rumfield’s Cole Faulkner was a pitcher’s worst nightmare this weekend at the Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff. The uncommitted 2024 from Highland Park (TX) did a little bit of everything as he tallied seven hits, three of them for extra bases, and was a menace on the base paths. Faulkner has the looks of a stereotypical leadoff hitter but with an extra level of pop. Look for this one to make some noise in future tournaments this summer.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 7-9, 2B, 3B, HR, 5 RBI, 6R, 6 SB

Ryan Reukema (Dallas Tigers 2023 Reynolds)

Dallas Tigers 2023 Reynolds’ Ryan Reukema powered an impressive offense this weekend as he drove in seven runs, racked up six stolen bases, and scored nine times. The uncommitted 2023 from Allen (TX) showed off both the hit and speed tool as he worked to drive the ball to all fields, as well as having a knack to take an extra-base and put his teammates in a position to rack up runs batted in. The RHH has a short, compact swing as well as a strong lower half that will be put on display throughout events all summer long.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 7-13, 2B, 3B, HR, 7 RBI, 9R, 6 SB

Eric Tenery (Next Level Hernandez)

Next Level Hernandez’s Eric Tenery was a tough out at the dish this weekend at the Five Tool South Texas Kickoff. The uncommitted 2023 from Tivy (TX) did it all for his squad and showed some big-time pull-side power as he smoked two triples and crushed a no-doubt home run. The sweet-swinging lefty has one of the prettiest swings around and will be a key contributor for Next Level throughout the summer. This dude is one to certainly keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

Event: Five Tool South Texas Kickoff

Stat Line: 6-8, 2 3B, HR, 7 RBI, 5R, 3 SB

Pitchers

Jordan Thomas (Dallas Tigers Micucci)

Dallas Tigers Micucci’s Jordan Thomas was unhittable Sunday afternoon in the Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff. The uncommitted 2022 from Frisco Reedy tossed a six-inning, no-hitter and racked up 11 punchouts. The RHP worked a fastball-curveball combo that really threw hitters off due to a large gap in velocity. Thomas currently sits at 80-84 MPH but makes it look easy as the ball seems to explode out of his hand. Keep an eye on this dude as he continues to add velocity the coming months and in his senior season this spring.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 6 IP, 11K, 0H, R

Pete Martinez (817 Sports LLC Patriots)

817 Sports LLC Patriots’ Pete Martinez turned in a masterful performance this weekend at the Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff. The uncommitted 2023 from Cleburne (TX) picked apart the opposition with excellent control and working down in the zone. The RHP did a great job changing hitters’ eye levels and has a lot of room to grow and add velocity to his repertoire. Martinez is an intriguing prospect that can continue to make noise if he turns out more outings like this.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 7 IP, 10K, 3H, 0R

Ryan Honeycutt (Dallas Tigers Cienega/Beaven 17U)

Dallas Tigers Cienega/Beaven 17U’s Ryan Honeycutt turned out a dominant performance on the bump at the Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff. The uncommitted 2022 from Mansfield (TX) was instrumental in the Tigers’ combined no-hitter as he overwhelmed hitters with a heavy fastball and dirty slider. The LHP gets his lower half engaged and has an impressive build that will aid in his velocity development over the next few months. Expect Honeycutt to continue building momentum during his summer campaign.

Event: Five Tool Texas DFW Kickoff

Stat Line: 5.1 IP, 8K, 0H, 0R

Ethan Calder (GPS Legends 17U Puffer)

GPS Legends 17U Puffer’s Ethan Calder was absolutely phenomenal on the rubber in the Five Tool South Texas Kickoff. The uncommitted 2022 from Lake Travis (TX) utilized pinpoint location and a devastating hook to put hitters away all Sunday afternoon. The LHP hides the baseball well and will be able to add velocity to make his already impressive fastball even better. This dude turned heads this weekend and will be one to check in on each and every tournament.
