Top Prospect Games - Underclass: Pitcher Reports
January 5, 2025
HATTIESBURG, MS - The Top Prospect Games: Underclass was held on Saturday, November 16th at Pete Taylor Park on the campus of the University of Southern Miss. This event was an invite-only event hosting some talented prospects from the 2027-2028 classes in Mississippi. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 60-yard dash using VALD Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw during gameplay and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement while facing live hitters in simulated innings. 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 this week.
Concluding our post-event coverage for this event, we look at the scouting reports on all pitcher who attended the Top Prospect Games: Underclass.
