By: Prep Baseball Texas Scouting Staff

On Saturday, August 1st, the PB Texas staff traveled to McLennan Community College in Waco, TX, to host the Central Texas Upperclass Uncommitted Games, an invite-only event for the classes of 2027 & 2028.

More than 30 players made their way to MCC 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 have already released 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 catcher in attendance as well as rank the top 4 from the event.
