TUSCALOOSA, AL - The Tuscaloosa Summer ID was held on Wednesday, July 9th at Northridge High School in Tuscaloosa, AL. This event was an open event that consisted of prospects from the 2026-2030 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 60-yard dash using VALD Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout 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 Wednesday.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all of the positional 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.
