TEXAS, USA - Now that the fall season has concluded, we are please to bring you the updated Texas 2019 Class Rankings. This years senior class in Texas is one of the strongest in the nation top to bottom, and that is reflected in our most recent update. Thanks to our grass roots scouting efforts from across the state, we have put together a comprehensive list, expanded to 375 players from all corners of the state. 

PBR’s staff of scouts and evaluators are constantly on the road, watching practices, games, workouts, and running events. Typically the end of fall rankings is a clean-up of sorts, filtering and shuffling players based on updated notes and scouting reports. Although there has been a slight shuffling amongst the top ten, SS Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage HS, TX) remains the number one player in the state, and in the nation. 

Elite arms make up the next three spots, with Matthew Thompson and J.J. Goss both hailing from Cypress Ranch HS. 6-foot-4 right-hander Will Rigney (Midway HS) comes in at No. 4, while one of the best pure hitters in the country, Brett Baty (Lake Travis HS) rounds out the top 5. 

There are a number of notable risers from the fall, including LHP Bodi Rascon (Decatur HS),  3B Logan Kohler (Little Elm HS), SS Dax Dathe (Stony Point HS), and SS Darell Hernaiz (El Paso Americas HS).
