Draft Prospects

School: Texas A&M. Committed: Never Drafted. Age At Draft: 21.1
Lamkin was a key arm for Texas A&M in his freshman season in 2023 and was again heavily relied upon in 2024. Across 65.2 innings, Lamkin pitched his way to a 5.21 ERA with 88 strikeouts to 22 walks. He features a lively fastball up to 94 mph, but his bread-and-butter is his changeup-slider combination. Both flash plus and generate plenty of whiffs. -

School: Calallen HS, Corpus Christi, Texas Committed/Drafted: Texas A&M
Age At Draft: 18.1
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Lamkin had a strong spring in 2022 and came just an error away from notching a seven-inning perfect game in March, where all of his outs came via strikeout. He faced 22 batters and punched out 21. The Texas A&M commit attacks from a lower, three-quarter slot, but hides the ball extremely well on the takeback, which adds sneak to his upper-80s fastball that will touch the low 90s. He possesses a mid-70s slurve with hard break away to lefthanded hitters and a down-action changeup he’ll keep righthanded hitters honest with. Lamkin is around the zone with all of his pitches. Expect his overall command to continue to develop as he fine tunes his game. With plenty of projection left, scouts agree his best days are ahead as some compared him to current Arkansas southpaw Hagen Smith.
