For whatever reason, there is just never a ton of info coming out of Texas on recruits. I wonder if it's just that the state is so big and the amount of players so many that guys just don't get covered by the recruiting services.

But I know he did the MLB PDP stuff last year. So he's been seen by pro scouts. I don't know enough about him to really speculate on whether he's a draft risk. As the draft gets closer and the prospect lists grow, I'll be looking for his name. He looks like he's having a good season on the mound and at the plate.

Without knowing more about him, I would assume a bullpen piece. But it was similarly hard to find scouting info on Walker a few years ago and Fontenot last year.

Kiley McDaniel of FanGraphs filed a prep scouting report today that mentioned Brice Turang and Cole Henry. Turang's gone, first round, so I won't paste that report. Here's what he said about Henry:

Cole Henry, RHP, Florence HS (AL), LSU Commit

Henry got on the scouting radar years ago, getting into the low-90s as an underclassman, and has steadily improved. He has a solid frame with some projection and came out showing a solid three-pitch mix early on: a 91-93 mph sinker that had plus life at times, a solid-average changeup, and a curveball that flashed above average. The arm action and delivery both look reliever-ish, though that isn’t the clear negative it used to be given how relievers are valued these days, and it isn’t a slam-dunk projection. Henry is in the area where his price will dictate whether he turns pro or heads to LSU, but there’s third- to fifth-round talent here.
