VALDOSTA, GA  - The Prep Baseball Georgia Staff traveled south for the South Georgia 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. 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 pitchers and catchers that attended with the help of our tech partners, broken down by each individiual player below.
