Top Prospect Games Knoxville: Infielder Reports


PBR Tennessee Staff

KNOXVILLE, TN - The Top Prospect Games: Knoxville was held on Tuesday, June 13th and Wednesday, June 14th at Lindsey Nelson Stadium at the University of Tennessee. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2027 classes from Volunteer state. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics. 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 from the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at the scouting reports from the event. Starting off by looking at all the infielders from the Top Prospect Games: Knoxville.
