Midwest Premier Super 17 (Member) Scout Blog: Day 2 (Pt. 2)

June 24, 2023
By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

The Midwest Premier Super 17 (Member) tournament will take place this weekend at Creekside Baseball Park in Parkville, Missouri. This tournament features 50 of the best teams from across the Midwest, and surrounding areas, that'll all compete for a championship crown.

Below you'll find a running up-to-date 'Scout Blog' that'll feature all of our content coverage from this week's action. We'll highlight standout players on a day-to-day basis and, at the end of each day, compile the videos into this running piece.

For all of the videos from the first day of the Super 17, click HERE.

Due to the length of the two stories, we needed to separate this scout blog into two different articles. For part one, which includes even more video from this event, click HERE.

Learn more about a few names that stood out on the first day of this year’s Midwest Premier Super 17 below.
