Josh Bell, Dallas Jesuit
Bell registered a .438 average over his final three seasons at Dallas Jesuit to go with 28 homers in 260 at-bats. His senior year was monstrous, with a .552 average, 55 RBIs and 14 homers in 96 at-bats to go with 19 stolen bases. That earned him MaxPreps All-American accolades and the Pirates drafted him with the first pick of the second round.

Bell plays right field for the Class A-advanced Bradenton Marauders in the Florida State League, where he has a .333 average and 51 RBIs.
