Pick 37 (1105) - SS Tristan Gray - Elkins (TX) HS



Gray is a Rice-commit 6-3 SS out of Elkins (TX) HS

PG: - Texahoma Region Best Tools
Best Hitter For Average: Tristan Gray, Sr., 2B, Fort Bend Elkins (Texas)
This is one of the most heavily contested categories of any regional best tools sections in years. Many Texas based scouts love Gray’s bat to ball skills, and his high contact rate makes him the choice in spite of numerous other candidates who could have very well also taken the title. Power hitting 2015 outfielder Ryan Johnson elicited votes from scouts, as did Oklahoma catcher Bryce Carter and outfielder Jon Littell, along with several other names that came up in conversation regarding the best high school hitter in the region.

Texas Scout Team Yankees shortstop Tristan Gray (Missouri City, Texas) was impressive with the bat, crushing a ball hard up the middle off of an arm-side pitcher who was locating very effectively. His hands work very well with a loose swing, and while he’s still skinny, he has begun to add strength to his frame and as he continues to do so he should develop more power.
