With 2024 coming to a close we begin to take a look at the most viewed player profiles in South Carolina over the last year. Prep Baseball continues to be a go-to source of information for college coaches and pro-scouts. All Major League Organizations and over 1000 colleges are subscribed to Prep Baseball services. Coaches and scouts can go to a players profile page and see player video as well as advanced analytics. With all the information provided it allows coaches and scouts to get an idea of who the player is as well as track their progress throughout their careers.
