2022-23 Pearland High School Baseball
INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 1 Pearland Oilers
Pearland enjoyed another stellar season in 2022 under District Coach of the Year winner David Rogers (4th year-92 career wins), finishing first overall in District 23-6A en route to a deep playoff run in which they reached the Regional Semifinals.
This year should be no different, considering this year’s roster will feature many of the same starters. Returning senior stars include reigning District MVP and lefty Caden Ferraro (Texas A&M-signee) and Newcomer of the Year Braeden Morse at third base.
First-teamers LF Brett Smajstrla (SHSU) and first-baseman Justin Ogle are back in the dugout along with second-teamer Anthony Avalos (Houston) at shortstop.
The core hopes to compete for the school’s first State Title since 1980.

2022-23 Friendswood High School Baseball
INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 4 Friendswood Mustangs
The Mustangs intend to ride back to the State Title game this season. Only, this time they won’t plan on leaving empty-handed.
Friendswood has garnered two-consecutive district titles (would have, likely, been three if not for COVID) and it doesn’t appear that trend will stop this spring.
The ‘Stangs are loaded with next-level stars, including Texas A&M-signee Boots Landry (first-base), RHP Easton Tumis (University of Texas), junior RHP/OF Kyle Lockhart (Oklahoma), and sophomore 3B/OF/C Dane Perry (Texas Tech).
Coach Robert Benavides has been spoiled with talent in his five-year career at FHS, and he will look to steer the ship toward making history in 2023.
