The stars of 2023-24 Katy Tigers Baseball
BASES LOADED: No. 3 Katy could contend for State Title in 2024
No. 3 -- Katy Tigers
2023: 30-8-3 (Finished 3rd in District 19-6A/Region III Finalist)
The Tigers were within throwing distance of reaching the UIL State Tournament a year ago, before falling just short against the state runner-up Pearland.
Some stars have since graduated, but don’t let that dissuade you from the potential threat this team poses. Katy is still going to be raw, no doubt about it.
Coach Wes Hearne’s group will be bringing back some of the recognized players in the exceptional Katy ISD, particularly A.J. Atkinson (SHSU-commit) and Sutton Hall (Texas A&M), with plenty of younger incoming talent to fill in the gaps of the program.
A trio of juniors have huge upside in Connor Udland (UH), Cade Nelson (TCU) and Aiden Barrientes (TCU).

HC: Wes Hearne
Katy Tigers baseball returns this Spring, hoping to carry the momentum gained from last year’s deep playoff campaign. Despite several seniors having graduated, the Tigers will proceed with steadfast optimism to compete with the reigning district champ Tompkins for supremacy in the neighborhood.
Coach Wes Hearne returns for his second year, leading a group that features numerous experienced players, named first-team, all-district RHP Lucas Moore (UTSA-signee). The 6-foot-2 senior concluded the 2022 season with a 10-2 record, which was reinforced by a 1.33 ERA.
Also representing Katy is another first-team,all-district honoree Reese Ruderman (Alvin CC) behind the plate. Senior RHP Cole Kasse (Texas Tech) and senior OF/RHP Caleb Koger also provide leadership that a State contender desperately needs.
Don’t be surprised if these Tigers ambush the competition.
