Baseball season is here! Private schools already have several games completed. Scrimmages are nearing their end for public schools. Some JUCO programs are nearly 10 games into their seasons. Already this season, we’ve captured some extremely impressive players and performances. Let’s scan the Five Tool network and highlight some recent JUCO performances and video.
The 2024 version of the Texas Private School Classic is underway in the DFW area and Five Tool is on the scene covering all the action. Day one delivered a bit of everything: walk-offs, pitching dominance, grand slams, combined no-hitters, players stealing home, inside-the-park homers and more.
When we recently held our third-annual Texas High School Player Draft on the Five Tool Podcast, we still had plenty of players leftover who we wanted to pick. Drafting a second team? Easy. Drew and I had no issue selecting our own second team for the Texas High School Player Draft and you could make a case these teams could beat the ones we drafted.

We'll conclude our coverage with breakout player picks for 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Senior Editor and National Scout Dustin McComas reflects on the 2023 baseball season and shares some of his "best of" stories. His list of the best pitching performances he saw in person is headlined by a truly unforgettable outing that grabbed the attention of everyone in Texas and even some nationally...
Catchers from California, athletic outfielders from Oklahoma, impressive shortstops from Utah... we continue our coverage of uncommitted 2024 players with position player prospects.
Like Texas, California is extremely deep, which means there is a long list of talented pitchers still uncommitted. This group includes major fall standouts, top high school performers, really impressive breaking balls and more. Plus, a pitcher from Wyoming who touched 93 MPH this fall.
A few righties up to 93 MPH, one of the best curveballs we saw in the summer, some of the state's top competitors and more... we continue our coverage of uncommitted 2024 prospects with 20 pitchers from Texas.
For colleges still looking to add to their 2024 class, we’ve collected some names of players – many of whom are JUCO/D2 prospects - who have stood out during the spring and/or summer. We’ll begin with position players and some two-way prospects from Texas before a list of Texas pitchers and then a list of national names from places like Arizona, California and even Utah and Wyoming.
The junior event forecasted what was ahead: a loaded senior Arizona Fall Classic. We take a look at some of the many standouts and shine a light on several uncommitted prospects who should have college coaches' attention.
There were some big names that attracted the attention of the numerous pro scouts in attendance, but there were also some uncommitted seniors who caught our eye during the Texas Scouts Association Games.
While the upperclass games were the main attraction, the Texas Scouts Association Underclass Games was a loaded event, too. We highlight several standouts from many of the best teams.
Caden Miller, MVP of the Don Mattingly World Series, was a major dude versus junior college pitching Tuesday night at San Jacinto. We cover his performance and the entire Dodgers Scout Team roster in this report.
Fall baseball is off and running across the Five Tool network and we highlight some top performances from New Mexico, Arizona and California. There's a little bit of everything from the 2024, 2025, 2026 and JUCO classes.
We'll conclude our coverage of Area Code underclass with our team report on the Yankees. The team in classic pinstripes featured some of the best position players in the event and impressive pitching.
The White Sox featured the most famous name in the event - Ethan Holliday. But it also showcased the hardest fastball, uncommitted standouts and much more. Our Area Code underclass team report does a deep dive on some of the midwest's top talent.
When a team has a Southisene on the roster, chances are it can win some games. The Reds also featured a blend of good hitters and potential physical mashers along with pitching feel on the mound with big, power stuff. Our Area Code underclass team report covers that and more.
Led by maybe the best pure hitter, one of the best right-handed pitching prospects, some of the best stuff of any pitcher and more, the Rangers performed well in San Diego. We cover that and more with our team report from Area Code underclass.
By the time Area Code Underclass ended, the last name "Young" was synonymous with "outstanding." Quentin and Miles Young put on a show for MLB Breakthrough Series but they weren't the only standouts on the team. Our team report features a deep dive on them and more.
