HOUSTON, TX - The Prep Baseball Report Underclass Trials is an open showcase for Class of 2020, 2021, and 2022 prospects. Not only will players receive high-level exposure, but the event will also serve as an identifier for the Prep Baseball Report Future Games, which is the premier summer scouting event for 2020 prospects across our coverage area, in addition to the North and South Texas Underclass Games hosted at Dallas Baptist and Texas A&M. There are limited spots still available for this event, CLICK HERE to register for the Houston Underclass Trials on Tuesday June 5.

There will be a talented group on Tuesday, including:

+ 2021 RHP Chase Pelter (The Kinkaid School) was a standout from the Preseason All-State Showcase in January where he pumped 84-86 on the mound. The right-hander is ranked No. 9 in Texas, No. 54 Overall.

+ 2020 SS Parker Guerin (Lake Travis HS) is ranked No. 73 in Texas and first stood out at the Waco Open last fall. He is a high-waisted, athletic, versatile player.

+ 2020 C Cole Ketzner (Magnolia HS) has a strong frame at 6-foot, 195-pounds, and showed some serious bat speed at the Preseason All-State Showcase in January with an exit velocity of 92 mph.

+ 2020 SS/OF Caden Queck (The Woodlands Christian) is ranked No. 76 in Texas, has a projectable frame at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, with solid strength and more to come. Queck posted an exit velocity of 88 mph off the tee, and has a strong arm from the outfield.
