South Texas Area Scout

On Sunday, January 11th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Texas State University in San Marcos, TX, to host the Central Texas Preseason ID, an open event for all high school classes.

More than 45 players made their way to Texas State and participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball Texas staff.

We've already posted a Statistical Analysis from the event, highlighting more of the traditional statistical categories, as well as a Quick Hits, highlighting some of the events top performers, while also posting Data Dives for both Pitchers and Position Players.

Today, we take a look at the scouting reports on every outfielder in attendance from the event.
