On Tuesday, June 9th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Texas State University in San Marcos, TX, to host the 2026 Team TX Future Games Tryouts, an invite-only event for the class of 2028.
More than 50 players made their way to Texas State 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.
