Carson Tinney, a 6'3" 220-pound catcher from the University of Texas, emerged as one of college baseball's most complete backstops after a first-team All-American campaign in 2025 that saw him lead Notre Dame in nearly every offensive category.

Tinney pairs his plus-plus raw power with advanced plate discipline for a catcher, posting a .498 OBP and maintaining a decent 19.5% strikeout rate while showing the ability to control the strike zone and work deep counts. Behind the plate, he's developed into a well-rounded defensive backstop with smooth receiving abilities, solid arm strength (threw out 17-of-25 base stealers in 2025), and improving leadership skills that have drawn praise from Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle. Tinney's combination of impact offensive production, premium power output, and legitimate catching ability make him one of the most valuable players in the 2026 draft class.

Aiden Robbins, a 6'2" 185-pound center fielder from the University of Texas, enters 2026 as one of the draft's most intriguing pure hitters. After capturing Cape Cod League MVP honors with a .307 average, 31 hits, and six home runs in the summer of 2025, the junior has already announced his arrival in Austin with authority, going deep in the opening series of 2026.

While his hit tool is his calling card, Texas hitting coach Troy Tulowitzki praised him as "a pure hitter who knows how to put the bat on the ball". Scouts believe his power numbers should climb in 2026 as he learns to elevate more consistently and leverage his plus bat speed into game power. Defensively, Robbins is an elite center fielder with zero errors last season at Seton Hall, showcasing excellent range, instincts, and a solid-average arm that gives him the versatility to handle all three outfield spots and adds significant value to his offensive profile as a potential top-of-the-order catalyst with emerging power.

Flores was a draft prospect out of high school and was eligible again in 2024, but is back with the Longhorns in 2025. He takes an extremely aggressive approach in the box, but has elite great barrel feel and is still able to post above-average contact rates. He has power, posting a 110.3 mph max EV, but will outproduce it with his ability to loft the baseball with authority. Long-term he figures to play 3B.

Riojas is a UTSA transfer who will be with the Texas Longhorns in 2025. He’s a reliever with a 3 pitch mix, all 3 profiling as strong-average. The fastball is 92-94 with 20” of carry, which has been his go-to. He throws a slider and a change-up, both carrying impressive results in small samples. He’ll show the mix in a more complete manner this spring, and could project as a solid mid-round college relief option.
