The resolution honors Corpus Christi native Justin Lamkin, who was selected by the Kansas City Royals as the 71st overall pick in the 2025 Major League Baseball Draft. A standout pitcher, Lamkin gained recognition at Calallen High School, where he was ranked as the No. 5 left-handed pitcher in Texas. He went on to play for Texas A&M University, where he excelled as both a starter and reliever, achieving notable accolades including being named to the Southeastern Conference All-Tournament Team and leading the Aggies to the College World Series. In his final college season, he recorded a 3.42 ERA and a team-high 98 strikeouts, culminating in a remarkable complete-game shutout against Georgia.

The Texas House of Representatives expresses its congratulations to Justin Lamkin for his selection in the MLB Draft and wishes him continued success in his professional baseball career. The resolution highlights Lamkin's significant contributions to Texas A&M and his potential to further enhance Texas's legacy in athletics. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for Lamkin as a token of esteem from the Texas House.
