North Alabama Fall ID: Positional Player Reports
October 7, 2025
MADISON, AL - On Sunday, September 28th, the North Alabama Fall ID kicked off the Fall ID Tour at James Clemens High School in Madison, AL. This event was an open event that consisted of prospects from the 2026-2030 classes. These players went through an pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, Blast Motion, defensive workout, Vizual Edge testing, and more. Pitchers were able to throw simulated bullpens and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. 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 on Sunday.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all of the position players from the event. Check back tomorrow as we wrap up our coverage of the event by taking a look at all of the pitchers that threw a simulated bullpen.
