Updates have been made to the 20230 Underclass Combine schedule in order to best maximize the experience for the attending players in the first session of that grad class’ group.
Players will now arrive by 2 PM at San Jacinto for check-in and gear pickup, with two games set for that day starting at 5:30 PM.
Monday will be split between San Jac and Sterling HS, and a doubleheader remains scheduled for Tuesday at San Jac to close out the event.
Please see the website for full details when they become available.

As the staff of the New Balance Future Stars Series gets set to descend upon Houston, Texas for the next three and a half weeks, with a jam-packed schedule of electric Combines and National Tournaments ahead, it’s time to start revealing some details for the first of those events, set for San Jacinto College from June 28-30.
We’ll start out with the Underclass Combine for our youngest group, the grad class of 2030, with both rosters also having a handful of 2031 grads mixed in.
There will be three games played for this event, with one on Sunday and a doubleheader set for Tuesday. Given the younger nature of the talent in Texas for this particular week, we’ll have a development day set for Monday that will also entail player photos being taken, hitting in the cages indoors and NTangible testing taking place.
Additionally, we’ll have a second group of our youngest players participating during the 2029 grad class Underclass Combine, set for July 12-14.
You want names to watch? We’ll have two teams — Columbia Blue and Gray — set to take the field, and we’ll have some familiar faces there, including 2025 Fresh 50 standout Jack Dolan, Rylan Pokluda from last year’s Underclass Combine’s Purple squad and a strong contingent from up north in Canada, including Matteo Harrison-Van Boort and Addison Bonney, who is set to become just the second female player to attend a summer selection combine after a strong showing at the Midwestern Ontario Bearcats Scout Day earlier this year. She’ll follow in the footsteps of trailblazing Olivia Pichardo, who went on to become the first woman to play D1 baseball.
We’ll also get a second look at Trae Dunford and Kenneth White III, both of whom stood out at our Charlotte Regional Combine back in February and also earned their way here.
