Amateur career

Pack grew up in Long Beach, California and attended Millikan High School.[1] In addition to baseball, he also played football as a wide receiver up until his sophomore year.[2] He had a .388 batting average as a senior in 2025.[3] He was considered a top prospect for the 2025 Major League Baseball draft but was not selected and instead enrolled at the University of Texas to play college baseball for the Texas Longhorns.[4]

Pack became the Longhorns' starting left fielder as a freshman in 2026.[5][6] He was named the SEC Baseball Freshman of the Year.[7] He was also named Freshman of the Year by Baseball America.[8] In the 2026 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, Pack hit three home runs in a 19-1 victory over the College of the Holy Cross, making him the first ever Longhorn to hit three home runs in a postseason game.[9] Across a total of 61 games played during his freshman season, Pack slashed .355/.480/.594 with 12 home runs, 56 runs batted in (RBI) and 21 stolen bases.
