Texas Baseball Bolsters 2027 Class With Electric Right-Handed Pitcher

As for Vais himself, he is definitely an exciting recruit that Weiner will love to mold should he make it to campus in two years. He offers a commanding presence on the mound already and could develop an even sturdier frame as he continues to age.

However, as it currently stands the right-hander boasts an arsenal that already gives hitters fits. It all starts with his fastball. Topping out at 92 mph already, Vais' heater is a pitch on its own that has the potential to blow past opponents and rack up strikeouts.

Pair it with a sharp curveball, though, and you see exactly why batters struggle to get their bat on the ball. Not stopping there, Vais also features a filthy slider that causes plenty of whiffs and one that could become a devastating out pitch at the next level.

While he's primarily a pitcher, and likely to be on the mound in college, he also has played the outfield as well -- with his arm being put on full display. At the dish he's equally as reliable, with a solid swing and patience that allow him to spray hits all over the field.

Ultimately, as we said there is no way to guarantee Vais makes it to Austin. He could flip his commitment in the coming years or potentially hear his name called in the MLB Draft. For now, though, Longhorns' fans are right to be excited about his commitment and the ability for Schlossnagle to keep building elite classes.
