CF Spencer Griffin (Travis HS Class of 2015) played for the Fort Bend Texans from 2013 - 2015. After graduating from Wharton County Junior College in 2017 he was drafted as the 2017 16th Round pick of the Los Angeles Angels. Spencer re-joined the Fort Bend Texans as a coach in the 2017 offseason and we are thrilled to welcome him back this year.

After spending his Rookie season with the Orem Owelz, Spencer was assigned the low A Burlington Bees for the 2018 season. " From the hot Spring Training fields to the cold fields of the Midwest I really enjoyed myself for this past season. I learned so much more about the game itself and myself as well and I’m looking to forward to continuing to perfect my craft while at home this offseason. I’m also looking forward to coaching these kids and helping them develop as young men and as ball players."

The Fort Bend Texans are sad to say good-bye to Coach Kyle Smith. After 12 years coaching with the Fort Bend Texans, Coach Smith and his family are moving to Carlsbad, New Mexico where Kyle has accepted a position with Marathon Oil Company. Kyle joined the Fort Bend Texans after completing his time in the minor leagues and has shared his years of collegiate and professional baseball with the Fort Bend Texas players as a well loved and vital part of our program. Kyle and his family will be moving after the holidays. The Fort Bend Texans are thankful for the many years that Kyle shared with our players and will miss him!

Sterling Smith joins the Fort Bend Texans coaching staff after relocating from the San Antonio area. He attended Antonian College Prep High School where he lettered in baseball and football, earning All District and All State honors. After high school, Sterling accepted a baseball scholarship to Prairie View A&M University and helped his team to a Conference Championship and Division I NCAA Regional Tournament. Sterling graduated in 2013 with a degree in history and began his career as a teacher/coach in the San Antonio area. He considers it an honor to coach and mentor student athletes and is a wonderful addition to the Fort Bend Texans coaching staff. Sterling is currently a teacher/coach in the Houston area.

The Fort Bend Texans welcomed back another former player as an addition to our coaching staff this fall. Fernando Martinez (P) played with the Fort Bend Texans prior to his graduation from Bush High School in 2011. After graduation he played college ball at Wharton County JC, Lamar University and LSU-Alexandria. Coach Martinez is still an active independent player and will be playing for the Rieleros de Aguascalientes in Mexico during the 2019 season.

On behalf of the current Fort Bend Texans players, coaches & staff, we wish all you the very best for this Christmas season and the new year ahead!
