- Jax Van Valkenburg, C/1B
- Tommy Georgelos, OF
- Brody Crane, RHP
- John “JT” Reyna, RHP
- Logan D’Amico, RHP/OF
- Mike Teasley, RHP/OF

The state of Texas is loud with talent in the athletic world, and baseball is no exception. Infielder Isaac Torres is among the most consistent high school performers in his class.
The Steele High School star has been on the Future Stars Series radar for two years. He impressed at the National Combine and Tournament in 2024, both at the plate and on the mound, and has continued his development in the batter’s box ever since.
Torres is a very good glove and has enough arm to work at second base, shortstop, and third base. At the plate, his foundation is strong, and there’s more production on the way.
He has good lateral movement and a strong, accurate arm. Good hands and body control. Has the bat speed to add power.

Torres showed he belonged in October’s Main Event at Globe Life Field. His BP sessions resulted in a lot of line drives and posted quality plate appearances versus some of the event’s best arms in game action.
It’s a hit-and-defense-based profile right now, but with room to grow into more power. In the field, he profiles well at second or third base, but his efficiency gives him a chance to continue at shortstop into college ball.
Torres is committed to San Jacinto College for next fall.
