Two Howe freshmen getting noticed in baseball

Two Howe freshman have caught the eye of scouts who have added them into their scouting notes.

Austin Haley and Carson Daniels are best friends and teammates and are now considered some of the best baseball players in the region Andrew Jenkins, scout for Perfect Game wrote the following review of Haley

"Austin Haley (2023, Sherman, Texas) is young, two-way player for Texas OilersHamblin/Hancock Listed as a primary third baseman and righthanded pitcher, Haley started at the hot corner to start the tournament and showed good arm strength, above-average footwork and the ability to pick it The righthanded hitter has a smooth, compact swing and stays inside the ball well He can hit to all parts of the field, has a quick bat and creates some leverage in his swing He barrels up the baseball with ease and should add more strength to his frame that will allow for more power in his swing On the mound, he throws a two-seam and four-seam fastball, has a developing feel for a tight slider and shows signs of a potential out pitch with his changeup Haley is a very athletic prospect and has a chance to be a very good player with continued growth at Howe High School over the next four years "

"Carson Daniels (2023, Howe, Texas) has been showing out on both sides of the ball The two-way athlete has led the way for the Texas Oilers - Hamblin/Hancock offense in day five play going 2for-3 with one double, one triple and two runs scored Daniels is hitting 385 through five games and shows raw power at the plate, controls the barrel well, gains ground and creates good whip through the strike zone He creates leverage in his swing with his strong lower half and projects to be a middle-of-the-order type hitter over the next four years

On the mound, Daniels throws from a three-quarters arm slot, stays online with a simple delivery and extension out-front He works his fastball north and south and mixes in a 1-to-7 curveball that he can control to both sides of the plate With added velocity, Daniels will be an interesting follow of the next four years and will be an athlete to keep an eye on "

Both of the Howe students are multi-sport athletes and excel in football, basketball, and track as well as baseball

The future is bright for the Howe Bulldogs for the next four years in all sports and Daniels and Haley are two of the biggest reasons why
