After fall season and January preseason evaluation looks, we've made some slight tweaks to the 2024 Five Tool Texas 55 ahead of the Texas high school baseball season. Who was the big mover? That and some of the prospect storylines we'll be following closely this season.

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.

The list of talented players in Texas doesn’t end with 110 names. Heck, it probably doesn’t end at 200, either. There are going to be players we’ve yet to even hear of who emerge as the state’s best and keep in mind that many players will play varsity baseball for the first time their junior season. Let’s take a look at 35 players that didn’t make either list but are definitely talented enough for evaluators and college coaches to keep an eye on.
