Texas’ baseball recruiting class ranked No. 1

According to baseballamerica.com, Texas baseball has the No. 1 ranked class in the nation. The best player in the class is RHP Jared Kelley.

If you thought Texas was doing well in football recruiting, just wait until you see what they have been doing in baseball. According to baseballamerica.com, Texas has the No. 1 ranked class in the nation.

The best player in the class is right-handed pitcher Jared Kelley. He is from Refugio, Texas and attends Refugio High School. Listed at 6 feet 2 inches, his fastball reaches the mid-90s and likes to mix in his breaking ball. He is one of the best prospects in the entire recruiting class and has been committed to the Longhorns since Jan. 11.

Being the top-rated class, Texas is the only Big 12 school in the top five. Oklahoma comes in at the top 10, ranking at No. 7. TCU is the only other Big 12 team listed at No. 12.  The SEC and Pac 12 dominate the top 15, as 10 of the top 15 teams are from those two conferences.

The Longhorn baseball team will begin on Valentine’s Day in Feb 2020, as they travel to Rice for their opening series.

The Texas Longhorns baseball team just unveiled its brand new, state-of-the-art player development center, called the J. Dan Brown Family Player Development Center. This facility is packed to the gills with amenities aimed to help players improve and for Texas to field the best group of players it possibly can on any given day. Check out this video giving a brief tour through the facilities:

This center makes its’ mark as the first fully donor-funded athletics facility on the Forty Acres. It includes a sports performance center for weight training, a nutrition center, a multi-use turf room outfit with multiple batting cages, the new Roger Clemens pitching lab, and an alumni locker room for former Longhorns who have since gone pro to work out in the off-season.

This facility is truly remarkable, and is another way that Texas sets itself apart from the competition. The Longhorns baseball team will utilize the facility in hopes of making a run at the College World Series this season.
