Tennessee Fall ID: Pitcher Reports
December 18, 2024
KNOXVILLE, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Fall ID was held on Sunday, November 17th at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, TN. Players went through an 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 get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during simulated innings. 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.
Concluding our post-event coverage for the event, we take a look at the pitcher reports from the Tennessee Fall ID.
