Caden Scarborouch picked in sixth round by Texas Rangers

Caden Scarborough could be Texas bound.

The 2023 senior became the first player in Harmony High School history to be drafted, when he was selected in the sixth round of the Major League Free Agent Draft on Monday by the Texas Rangers.

“Incredible achievement for an outstanding individual,” Harmony coach Heath Williams said. “As a pitcher, Caden has ‘swing and miss’ stuff and that’s something that major league teams are always looking for. On top of that, he is one of the most focused athletes I have ever met. He sets goals and then works his tail off to get there.”

Scarborough’s draft stock may have improved with his performance in the FHSAA All-Star game in Lakeland, where he faced the best high school seniors in the state and struck out four batters in two innings. The San Diego Padres then flew him out to Petco Park for a private workout, where he struck out several college players that were also brought in for draft evaluations.

Scarborough described pitching in a major league stadium at Petco as a “surreal” experience. “It was just a workout, but I was standing on a major league mound and pitching in a major league stadium. It’s something I always dreamed about doing as a kid. Hopefully someday I’ll be able to do it again in a real major league game.”
