On Tuesday June 17th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Texas State University in San Marcos, TX, to host the Top Prospect Games: San Marcos, an invite-only event for the class of 2026-2028.

More than 35 players made their way to Texas State 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.
