Team TX Future Games Tryouts: Pitcher Analysis


By: Max Semler
North Texas Scouting Director

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.

We have already released a Statistical Analysis from the event, highlighting more of the traditional statistical categories, as well as a Quick Hits, highlighting some of the events top performers, while also posting Data Dives for both Pitchers and Position Players.

Today, we conclude our post-event rollout by taking a look at the scouting reports on every pitcher in attendance as well as rank the top 5 from the event.
