Any colleges wanting more information on these Bandito standouts contact us.
CJ Hinojosa - Klein Collins HS 2012
University of Texas
El Gato. A great glove at 3rd base with a rocket of an arm. He can also catch and stop anybody's running game. He has been one of the hottest hitters in Bandito land over the last few years. This kid has been in the program a long time and knows what it takes to play in the grease. Hits to all fields as well.
Austin Dean - Klein Collins HS 2012
University of Texas
The Freak! Came to Bandito Land at 7 years old. He has developed into one of the top hitters in his class across the country. This kid has POWER! He hit a monster home run at Oklahoma State University that traveled over 400 feet. Has improved his defensive skills as well as his ability to play 2nd and 3rd base. One of the top players in this class. Look for Austin to do great things at Klein Collins and beyond.
Cory Geisler - Klein Collins HS 2012
Hard throwing lefty with electric off-speed stuff. Hit a bump in the road early, only to come learning from it. He has a chance and the potential to be the next Troy Patton. Corey will one day have to make a decision as he also swings the stick as well. He can flat out hit. Look for Corey to be on his varsity team this spring.
Jovanni Hernandez - Rockwall Heath 2012
Jo Jo is a team favorite. This kid can beat you with his arm, stick or glove. Throws in the mid 80's with nasty curveball. Look for Jo Jo to play varsity baseball for his high school. One of the best catchers to come through Bandito Land. Great upside and tremendous attitude. Member of the 13U Banditos Black.
Courtney Hawkins - Corpus Christi Carroll HS 2013
One of the top rated pitchers in the country. When it's all said and done, Courtney will be pitching in the big leagues quicker than you think. A fierce competitor with tremendous upside.
Jarred Greene - Magnolia HS 2012
Big, strong and powerful. His game has improved over the last two years. Has a chance to do some great things as he is getting bigger and stronger. Throws consistently in the mid 80's and on any given day can beat any team in the country. He is starting to figure out how to hit the other way. Has a chance to become a power hitting catcher or 1st baseman. One of the hardest workers in the program.
Rex Hill - Tomball HS 2012
In our opinion, this kid has a chance to pitch at the highest level he wants. A strong lefty pitcher who throws between 85-90 MPH with nasty breaking stuff. Rex Hill will be a huge force at Tomball High School and beyond. Put that in the book. A great kid, as well.
Taylor Guidry - St. Martinsville HS, LA 2012
Prototypical lead-off hitter! This blue-collared, frog-giggin' kid can flat out play the game of baseball. One of our favorite kids in the program. This kid is small but has a heart the size of Louisiana. Nicknamed Crawfish, he is blessed with speed and the ability to make things happen from the lead-off spot. This kid could play for us forever.
Dustin Thiess - Klein Oak HS 2012
One of the best all around athletes in the 2012 class. This kid has great hands and the protypical middle infielder. Good contact hitter with occassional power. This kid will also beat you on the mound. Look for him to be an impact for Oak the next few years.
Adam Aldred - Woodlands HS 2012
Aldred has come a long way in his baseball development. He has developed into one of the best lefties here in Banditoland. His fastball ranges from 80-85 MPH and has a lot of upside. He is also one of the hardest workers in the 2012 class.

Blake Bonnin - Barbers Hill HS 2012
Blake definitely has a chance to play at the next level if he continues to develop. Blake has tremendous bat speed and has a good glove to go along with it. The sky is the limit for Blake if he continues to improve. Another 2012 kid that will come into his own this year.
Emmit Schultz IV - Cypress Woods HS 2012
Emmit is one of those kids that continues to get better. If given the chance, he may develop into a college ball player. A great body with great foot speed. A sleeper of the bunch.

Ben Bourland - Tomball HS 2012
A big, strong kid that has a chance to play Varsity level very soon. Has a very good fastball and has turned into a very strong pitcher. His hitting was a big surprise early this summer. Another kid whose potential is sky high. Don't sleep on this sleeping giant.
Desmond Richards - Tomball HS 2012
One of the biggest surprises in Bandito land. Should make a big play for Tomball's Varsity this year. This kid can run with the best of them. There's no question that Desmond has the goods to play at the next level and then some.

Jesus Gomez - Lufkin HS 2012
Jesus has the determination to get better. He always wants feedback on his performance during practice and after a game. He knows that his body size is an advantage so he is willing to work on his speed and footwork to become a complete player. He already has a great stick, glove and baseball mind so he can olnly get better.
Taylor Jordan - Cinco Ranch HS 2012
Very athletic young kid. Good speed and arm. Taylor is not only coachable but loves to work at it. His confidence at the plate is growing and it's showing. Taylor has the ability and work ethic to be an everyday player next year.

Robby Goldschmidt - Woodlands HS 2012
Definitely a team favorite who loves to play the game. His left-handed stroke has come a long way in a short amount of time. Following in his brother's footsteps, he's learning to play the 1B position at a very fast pace. Robby has power and is ready to make his move.
Garrett Hope - Woodlands HS 2012
Garrett fell into our lap. He is one of the biggest surprises in the organization. He also has a lot of power and knows the game very well. This kid has big time upside and we can't wait to see him develop. Look for Hope, with no question, to make a run at the Varsity level at the Woodlands this year and follow in the footsteps of Bandito alumni.
Dalton Baird - Brenham HS 2012
Dalton is one of our most competative players on the team. Very coachable and always wanting to learn more. He probably has the quickest bat on the team which will ensure him many hits at the next level. Just like any kid at this age Dalton knows he needs to get better, the difference is that he wants to get better.
