Prep Baseball Report

2026 Preseason All-State Leaderboard: Catcher Velocity


Prep Baseball Texas Staff

With the help of our partners, we broke down some of the top measurable data gathered at our Preseason All-State events in 2026. We collected the data at both the South Texas Preseason All-State and the North Texas Preseason All-State.

Our Preseason All-State events are great opportunities for our staff to get a look at the top prospects in the state, all in one setting, before their spring seasons get underway.

Today, we will take a look at the top catcher velocities collected at our All-State events, broken down by upper and underclass, below.
