Max Semler
North Texas Scouting Director

On Thursday, August 7th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Blinn College in Brenham TX to host the South Texas Uncommitted Games, an event for uncommitted 2026 & 2027 prospects.

Over 70 Players made their way to Blinn and participated in a pro-style workout followed by gameplay, 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.

Today, we will be looking at the top performers from the day.
