New 2019 Baseball Commit from Texas

[AlSwearengen]

Xavier Lovett OF/P but judging from his size, probably and outfielder. Rated the number 37th player in TX which doesn?t sound terribly high to me but it is Texas. Todd, what do you think about this one?

[Todd4State]

Sounds like a fairly high upside player that could end up in college and be a SEC CF to me. 37 is a good range because I would imagine in Texas the top 20 or so are probably major draft risks.

He may develop some power as well.

Welp Braden Shewmake was the 38th best player in 2016- so I like this new commitment very much

Jordan Westburg was number 20 in 2017

Just quickly scanning the 36th player in Texas over the last few years you see lots of 30th rounders in MLB draft- that's a pretty good prospect to get into college.

[AlSwearengen]

Sounds good then, especially when you come back to him being a 2019 player. I guess we are finding some pretty good “leftovers” for this class.

[Randolph Dupree]

This is a good get. Like Todd says, there's upside here and a great chance we get him to campus.

I agree and I think Westburg is about to bust out for us this upcoming season. I could see him easily being a 15 home run guy for us.
