Prep Baseball North Carolina continued its 2025 coverage with the Preseason ID events on January 18 and 19. On Sunday, January 19, the Prep Baseball scouting staff hosted players at UNC Wilmington’s baseball facilities. Athletes had the opportunity to work out indoors at the Seahawk’s Marvin Johnson Indoor Training Center, as well as utilize the outdoor practice infield adjacent to the expansive indoor facility. This setup provided an ideal environment for players to showcase their skills during the evaluation periods.

The Preseason ID events serve as a valuable opportunity for high school players to assess their progress as they approach the spring season. Participants can measure the effectiveness of their off-season training and its impact on their on-field potential. Additionally, these events enable players to update their Prep Baseball Player Profiles, connecting with over 1,000 college coaches and scouts who subscribe to Prep Baseball.

The Rising Stars event is designed for middle school players, offering an early introduction to the metrics, staff, and evaluation processes utilized by Prep Baseball. These young athletes represent the next wave of talent, and events like Rising Stars prepare them for future evaluations and competition.
