My Take
Courtney Hawkins is one of those high-ceiling prep prospects whose draft-day backflip got more replays than his big-league stats ever did. Taken in the first round straight out of a Corpus Christi high school, he carried huge expectations and never quite translated the raw tools into sustained major-league production. I find these careers quietly fascinating: the gap between projection and reality in baseball is enormous, and most first-rounders are stories of almost rather than arrival. No knock on him, the path from Texas teenager to pro is already rarefied air. The hype just sets a cruel bar.
