The Prep Baseball Report ArkLaTex Open will be held at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA, and will take place on Thursday, June 29, 2017. The open event currently features 40 players in the classes of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 from the states of Louisiana and Arkansas.

Check-in for position players will begin at 8:20 AM and the event will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. Position players will go through a pro-style workout, which includes: run times, defensive evaluation with positional velocity, swing analysis with exit velocity and round of batting practice.

Pitchers only will check-in from 11:20 AM – 11:40 AM.

As always, players will have their performances video-taped and hosted on the Prep Baseball Report multi-media platform that is subscribed to by over 800 college coaches and professional scouts.

A player to watch in the event is 2019 C John Hoskyn; Hoskyn is a 6-foot 195-pound catcher with a large frame and a physical build. At the Top Prospects Games Hoskyns threw pop times ranging between 1.87-1.96. Offensively uses his physical strength and advanced bat speed to attack the baseball and leads to his projection to hit for power as he continues to move forward in his baseball career. Hoskyn is the No.14 player in the 2019 class from the state of Arkansas.
