Fall Top Prospect Games: Outfielder Scouting Reports
December 9, 2024
Prep Baseball of South Carolina and Georgia hosted its Fall Top Prospect Games on October 20th at Clemson University. The event featured players from across the states of South Carolina and Georgia in the 2025-2027 grad classes.
Position players opened the day with an offensive workout, taking live BP on the field. TrackMan and Blast were used to track pre-swing and ball-flight analytics. Players then went through a defensive workout at their position, allowing coaches and scouts to get a feel for their athleticism, movement, and arm strength.
After the workout, the players where split into to teams and played a controlled game. Pitchers threw to live hitters in a controlled environment, allowing PBR Scouts to control pitch count and stress of each inning. Hitters got live looks at pitchers, allowing the coaches and scouts in attendance to further their evaluations after BP, in the live setting.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance looking at the top performers in select categories.
