DFW Freshman Free Showcase: Positional Data Dive


Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Saturday, October 11th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Denton Ryan High School in Denton, TX, to host the DFW Freshman Free Showcase, an open event for the class of 2029.

More than 30 players made their way to Denton Ryan HS this past weekend 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 the top statistical performers. We have also released our Takeaways from the event, highlighting some of the event's top performers.
