Madison Rising Stars ID: Positional Player Reports


PBR Alabama Staff

MADISON, AL - The Madison Rising Stars ID was held on Sunday, May 28th at Bob Jones High School in Madison, AL. This event hosted some of the top prospects from the 2027-2028 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. Some of these players will earn an invitation to the Junior Future Games at Lakepoint later this summer. 

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at each specific scouting report for all of the position players that were in attendance at the event. Check back tomorrow as we take a look at all of the pitchers from the event.
