"Purke, who has signed with TCU, is asking for a $7 million to $7.5 million contract.."

Some More Local DFW High School Kids.

#164 Mets -Damien Magnifico, RHP, North Mesquite
#235 Pirates- Colton Cain, LHP Waxahachie

This has been a very disappointing draft for Texas HS kids through the first 10 rounds in terms of numbers (depth).

I wonder if Drew Harrison (Waxahachie), or any of the Coppell kids will go in the later rounds?

what about peterson from hallsville or turley and fant from texarkana? a lot of scouts following those 3 all season.

there are alot of HS kids out of Cali

Yes, and normally Texas is at least somewhat close to California in terms of high school kids drafted. This year it has to be 5 or 6 Cali kids for every 1 Texas kid.

Hunter Hill, 13th round to the Rays.

Congrats to Hunter (and Marc & Susan)!

#646 Mil - Brian Vigo-Suarez Fossil Ridge HS, SS
#648 Bos - Randall Fant Texas HS, LHP
#709 TB - Trevor Peterson Hallsville HS, RHP

what position does the Fossil Ridge kid play?

Congrats to two DBU players:

Victor Black (RHP) -- 1st round, supplemental

Ryan Goins (SS) - 4th round

Way to go, guys!!

The Kid from Fossil plays SS

#808 Joe Leftridge to the Braves

3 Dallas Tigers, 1.5 DBAT Mustangs. 1.5 Burkburnett Blacksox, Any D. Patriots, D. Titans, F.T. Cats, Waco Storm?

cain at #235 and fant at #648. looks like texas and arkansas just picked up a couple of very good lefties.

Dodgers: 727 Chad Kettler SS Coppell (Texas) HS

Giants: 537 Jonathan Walsh C Coppell (Texas) HS

Congrats to DBU catcher Brandon Bantz (893)!!

All players from Texas through 30 rounds (per draft tracker) ....

Congrats to Jake Johansen! Just always remember to wear white when you are out on that mound, my man! I am so proud of you and your hard work the past 4 years! Amazing discipline and focus. Good luck at DBU and beyond. Just remember your old coach when you make it big!

I echo those thoughts. Congrats, Jake!

He's always thrown hard -- now he's truly become a pitcher. Whether it's DBU or MLB, Ryan and I wish you the best.

Here's to a great summer!

Now that DBU has lost its ace Victor Black to the draft, the Patriots are excited to be getting another outstanding pitcher! Congrats, Jake!
