Augusta Preseason ID: Infielder Reports
January 28, 2025
AUGUSTA, GA - The Prep Baseball Georgia Staff traveled to Augusta Christian High School for the Augusta Preseason ID. This event was an opportunity to see a talented group from the 2025-2028 class. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw using Trackman. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Sunday. Our goal at Prep Baseball is to travel around the state of Georgia to find the hidden talent among the different regions within the peach state.
Today, we will dive into the metrics from the infielders that attended with the help of our tech partners, broken down by each individiual player below.
