Highlighting some of the players in attendance will be 2019 SS Couper Cornblum (Midway HS). Cornblum entered our 2019 Class Rankings after our staff saw him this summer (Texas Scout Notebook: Uncommitted 2019’s). Ranked No. 76 in TX, Cornblum is one of the top uncommitted shortstops in the state, he has athletic, smooth actions in the middle of the field, and swung the bat well this summer.
2019 SS Kade Sanchez (Caldwell HS) was a standout performer at the North Texas Underclass Games. Sanchez, Ranked No. 137 in TX, is a gritty player, and solid defender with quick footwork and a strong arm. He plays with real energy in the middle of the field.
