DURHAM, N.C. - Baseball America announced its annual summer league prospect rankings on Monday with new Lumberjack outfielder Bryson Myles being named one of the top pro prospects in the Texas Collegiate League.
Myles, signed with the 'Jacks in the spring after playing last season at Weatherford College, was ranked as the seventh-best prospect in the TCL after spending his summer in the outfield for the McKinney Marshals and hit .328 with six home runs and 18 RBI in 35 games. He added 20 steals as well with an on-base percentage of .428.
He was one of five Southland players to be named to the top-10 list, including McNeese State's Lee Orr who was named the league's MVP and top prospect. The Texas Collegiate League is a seven-team, wood-bat league made up of college-age teams across Texas.
A Grand Prairie, Texas, native, Myles will have two years of eligibility remaining after earning all-region honors last season for the Coyotes. He finished second in the country last year at WC with 53 steals, and even hit .371 with five home runs and 30 RBI.
Baseball America annually releases a complete rankings of the top 10 prospects in all of the nation's summer leagues. Myles is the first Lumberjack to land on one of the lists.
