High School Top 50: 30-21
Cam McElwaney
High School Preview Index Top 50 Breakdown: 50-41 | 40-31 30. Calallen (Corpus Christi, Tx.) 2025 Record: 35-2 Head Coach: Steve Chapman Notable Prospect(s): OF Drayton Mitchell (Texas State), LHP Coll Carroll (Texas State), SS Drayson Gamez (Midland College), 3B Lucas Saenz, OF Jimmy Tipton The 2025 season was one that saw the Wildcats win their fourth state championship under legendary Texas high school coach Steve Chapman. They were dominant from start to finish, ending the year with a 35-2 record and bring back most of their offensive production and the offense will be headlined by a pair of seniors who had great springs a year ago in Drayton Mitchell and Wyatt Duke. Mitchell was also one of the arms that they relied upon a year ago and dominated on the bump. Rounding out the rotation is another senior in Coll Carroll, a left-hander who’s been into the upper-80s in PG...

They lose a pair of senior power arms but also bring back one of the top right-handers in the state in Trent Vilade as well as adding one of the top flamethrowers in the nation in Savion Sims. Junior outfielder Lash Henderson, a Texas A&M commit and a top-25 talent in the class, headlines the group of position players along with...
