On Sunday, January 4th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Rockwall High School in Rockwall, TX, to host the East Dallas Preseason ID, an open event for all high school classes.

More than 30 players made their way to Rockwall 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've already posted a Statistical Analysis from the event, highlighting more of the traditional statistical categories, as well as a Takeaways, 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 from the event.
