Central Texas Preseason ID: Position Player Analysis


Prep Baseball Texas Staff

On Sunday January 5th, the PB Texas staff traveled to Texas State Univeristy to host the Central Texas Preseason ID, an open event for the class of 2025-2028.

Players made their way to San Marcos 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.

We've already posted a Statistical Analysis from the event, highlighting more of the traditional statistical categories, as well as a Quick Hits Story, highlighting some of the events top performers, while also posting Data Dives for both Pitchers and Position Players.

Today, we take a look at the scouting reports from each position player in attendance as well as rank the top 5 from the day.
