Jack Smejkal - The Woodlands High School (Texas) 2026 commits to the Longhorns.
The Texas Baseball staff does not rest. The latest evidence of that is the commitment of RHP/SS Jack Smejkal, a very talented addition to the class of 2026.
A must watch prospect when toeing the rubber, Smejkal has a fastball that sits 91-94 with a spin rate of nearly 2500. In addition, Smejkal throws a very effective slider with a spin rate of 2500, generating a lot of swings and misses. He isn’t just a talented thrower though; he has a very good feel for pitching and likes to attack and go at hitters.
At the plate, Jack has seen solid improvement, especially in his physicality. This summer he has certainly flashed more power than he has in the past where he was more of a line drive hitter. Defensively, he is a very sure handed player at shortstop who moves very well and fields cleanly. He has a strong arm and combined with his athletic ability, he has the opportunity to stick on the left side in the future.
Smejkal is a Top 10 player in Texas for the class of 2026 and it is well evidenced when he is in the game, whether pitching or at the plate. He chose the Longhorns over Texas A&M and a number of other top programs around the nation, adding to an already impressive 2026 class for the Horns.
