Prep Baseball Report

Preseason All State - Quick Hits


Eddie Tisdale
Scouting Director - South Carolina

On Saturday January 19th over 30 prospects descended on the beautiful confines of Shipyard Park for the first annual Preseason All State Showcase. Scouts on hand were able to take in laser time 60s, exit velocity testing, offensive & defensive evaluations, and pitcher bullpens. 

Weather always seems to tell the story this time of year and this event was no different with rain showers forecasted to move through the night before the event. However, the overnight showers were no match for the all turf fields at Shipyard Park and the day ended under a beautiful South Carolina blue sky, with temperatures reaching the 60s.
