August 12, 2025
Over the weekend of August 9th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Texas A&M University in College Station, TX, to host the 2025 TX/LA Super Sophomore Games, an event for 2028 prospects.
Nearly 50 players from the state of Texas made their way to Texas A&M this past weekend 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, while also playing two games against 2028 prospects from the state of Louisiana.
We have already released a Statistical Analysis for this event, highlighting the top performers in the more traditional stat categories. Today, we will be going through our scouting takeaways from the event’s top performers.
