By: Prep Baseball Texas Scouting Staff

On Wednesday, July 8th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Rockwall High School in Rockwall, TX, to host the East Dallas Summer ID, an open event for all high school classes.

More than 25 players made their way to Rockwall HS 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.
