TEXAS - Over the weekend of November, 2 - November, 3, we hosted the Underclass State Games at Texas A&M University where we saw some of the top 2027 & 2028 players in the State. The weekend kicked off on Saturday morning with a workout for position players. They ran 60's, threw from defensive positions, and ended the workout with BP on the field. Saturday afternoon and Sunday consisted of gameplay where the pitchers had their TrackMan data recorded. This event featured a strong group of players from top to bottom and that showed throughout the entire weekend. Today, we take a look at the scouting reports from each outfielder in attendance as well as rank the top 5 from the weekend.
