On Tuesday, June 23rd, the PB Texas staff traveled to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX, to host the Top Prospect Games: Fort Worth, an invite-only event for all high school classes.

More than 45 players made their way to TCU 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 the top statistical performers. Today, we will provide our scouting takeaways on some of the prospects who stood out throughout the event.

QUICK HITS

Fastball touched 86 and showed the ability to work effectively to both the top and bottom of the zone. Curveball reached 77 with 12-5 shape and quality spin, while the slider flashed solid action. Secondary stuff showed average potential. There are opportunities to clean up the delivery, and the velocity should continue to increase.

Jackson Fetters | RHP | The Bennett School | 2027 | R/R | 6'1" 190 | McLennan CC commit
Quality outing from the right-hander. Fastball reached 89 with both a four-seam showing carry and a two-seam with quality sink that generated swing-and-miss. Cutter topped at 81 and flashed average action, while he mixed in a changeup with solid deception. Worked quickly and attacked hitters.

Nolan Meehlhaus | RHP/CF | Lovejoy | 2028 | R/R | 6'2" 176
Impressive athlete with quality upside. Fastball reached 89 with carry through the zone, arm-side life, and swing-and-miss ability. Changeup at 77 showed quality tail and sink, relying more on movement than deception. Slider is a developing pitch with sweep/slurve action. The FB/CH combination stood out in this look. Worked quickly on the mound.

In center field, he showed plus athleticism and ran a 6.67 60. Range is present, and he projects to have a plus arm. Showed consistent hard contact with a developing offensive approach and flashed raw pull-side power.

Gage Blankenship | RHP | Lovejoy | 2028 | R/R | 6'6" 185
Long, lanky frame with plenty of projection. The arm works well, and a velocity jump is coming.

Attacked hitters, worked quickly, and consistently threw strikes.
