Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Saturday, January 11th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Texas Christian University to host the North Texas Preseason All-State, an invite-only event for the class of 2025-2028.

More than 60 players made their way to Rice University 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 Story, 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 from each catcher in attendance as well as rank the top 5 from the day.
