Prep Baseball Report updates Texas rankings
For those of you unaware or new to the baseball recruiting scene, Prep Baseball Report (PBR) has blossomed into one of the most trusted sources for all things high school and travel baseball. They were barely even a thing 10 years ago, but they've poured a bunch of time and money into staff, tournaments, and scouting. They employ analyst to watch the top flight high school tournaments in the spring then venture out all over the country in the summer. Anyway, they updated their rankings for the state of Texas today. I saw some folks wondering where Texas A&M sat after Baseball America posted their top signing classes last week. Well, it appears the folks at PBR are much higher on what Jim Schlossnagle and Nolan Cain were able to get in the boat. Here's what tonight's list looks like from a Maroon and White perspective:#2 - Cooper Williams - LHP - Alvin#6 - Wyatt Sanford - SS - Frisco Independence #11 - Sawyer Farr - INF - Saginaw Boswell#12 - Bryce Navarre - LHP - Montgomery #13 - Sam Erickson - OF - Flower Mound#27 - Houston Tomlinson - RHP - Grand Oaks#28 - Marc Barnhard - RHP - Grand Oaks#32 - Trey Craig - 1B - Mansfield Lake Ridge#34 - Aiden Sims - RHP - Forney#35 - Rylan Hill - LHP - Bryan #39 - Adrian Rodriguez - 1B/3B - Flower Mound#47 - Nathan Tobin - OF - Haslet Eaton#52 - Blayne Lyne - RHP - Corpus Christi London#55 - Hayden Crites - C - Paradise #84 - Tristan Bittle - OF - Arlington Martin That's 15 kids inside the top 85 players in the state. The next closest program (Texas) had 8 signees in that same range. I'd say that's a fairly solid in-state haul.
