GALLATIN, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Preseason All-State: Underclass was held on Saturday, February 8th at Liberty Creek HS. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Vald Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during a bullpen setting. 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 at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage, we look at the scouting reports on all infielders from the event.
