He operates with a long and loose arm action from a high 3/4 window and has flashed whippy arm speed. The fastball sits in the low-to-mid 80s and plays with downhill tilt. Teixeira uses a pair of off-speed offerings to keep hitters off balanced; a breaking ball with depth and a fading changeup. He debuts within our recent rankings following a strong sophomore campaign and successfully maintaining that helium in the summer.

As he continues to fill out his frame, he will be an intriguing follow during the second half of his high school career.
