The majority of July was spent in Houston with our National Combines and Tournaments for four classes.
Below are the athletic testing leaderboards for the 2027 Underclass Combine.
10-Yard
Durrett is a Texas-based 6-0, 165-pound SS/3B who earned an invite to the Underclass Elite and will continue to look to show his upside there.
40-Yard
Fredieu first popped for us at a Sandlot Scout Day, and it’s no surprise that he finds himself on top of the board in both the 40 and the 60-yard dash times, even with a slightly slower track than what he ran on in Oklahoma earlier this year.
60-Yard
We saw Rutledge in Charlotte at that Regional Combine earlier this year, and the 5-foot-10, 175-pound shortstop and center fielder was among the fastest players to run the 60 this past month in Houston, joined by only four other players to run a 6.7 or below.
Pro Agility 
Who says pitchers aren’t athletic? Reynolds, a lefty out of the East Coast Grays program, led the way with a 4.32 time in the 5-10-5, and was one of just two players, alongside fellow Georgia native Collin Thomas, to fall into the 4.5 or below bracket.
Broad Jump
Layton was an easy choice to earn his way to a second consecutive signature event based on his athleticism alone; he easily led the field in the broad jump, and set a new class record in the triple broad.
Triple Jump
Switzenberg and Rideout-Carter did well to nearly crack the 30-foot plateau in the triple jump testing; Switzenberg is an Arizona-based outfielder who showed some significant juice with the bat during batting practice in Houston, while Rideout-Carter is a Canadian pitcher who impressed during his outing to earn an invite to the Underclass Elite.
