Texas Scout Blog: Standouts from Across the State

High school baseball in Texas is special. The combination of talent, competition, and passion for the game is unmatched anywhere else in the country. From the packed stands on Friday nights to the year-round grind that players put in to get better, baseball isn’t just a sport here—it’s part of the culture.

At Prep Baseball Texas, we’re out at the ballparks watching the best the state has to offer, and each week in the Texas Scout Blog, we’ll highlight the players who stood out. Whether it’s a top-ranked commit showing why he’s one of the best in the country, an uncommitted prospect making a name for himself, or an under-the-radar player who demands attention, we’ll shine a light on those making an impact.

This isn’t about box scores—it’s about recognizing the guys who are stepping up when the lights are on. Texas high school baseball is as good as it gets, and we’re here to make sure the players proving it get the attention they deserve.

Check back each week to see who caught our eye across the Lone Star State.

WEEK 9

Anderson Berndt
Position: OF/RHP
School: Buda Johnson (2025)
Commitment: Western Texas JC

Anderson Berndt, a Western Texas JC commit, had a strong performance for Buda Johnson last week, hitting a 2-run home run that was crushed. Off the bat, it looked like a line out to LF but was hit so well, it carried out without ever getting more than ⅓ of the way up the lightpole. With that blast, the Jaguars extended their lead to 6-0 and really pulled away. Berndt can change the game with one swing and that is a game changer come playoff time.
