Toby Bicknell
Texas Scouting Director

Each week, PBR Texas will be showcasing a Hitter Of The Week. The talent level in this state is second-to-none, and our Scouting Staff is covering games and evaluating players on a daily basis. Each week, High School Coaches from around the state send in their nominations. This week's winner comes from our Texas 2019 Class Rankings.

Junior shortstop Cody Akers (Azle HS) went 5-for-6 last week with a triple, two home runs, including one for a grand slam, seven RBI, and six runs scored. In addition, Akers was walked twice and hit by a pitch, reaching base 8-of-9 times. Akers was one of the Top Prospects from our Houston Preseason I.D. Showcase, and is currently ranked No. 87 in Texas.

Congratulations Cody!
