Birmingham Rising Stars ID: Pitcher Reports
July 9, 2026
PELHAM, AL – The 2026 Summer ID Tour continued on Tuesday, June 30th, as Prep Baseball Alabama traveled to Pelham High School for the Birmingham Summer ID and Birmingham Rising Stars ID. Featuring prospects from the 2027-2032 classes, the event brought together players from across Central Alabama for a full day of evaluations in front of the Prep Baseball Alabama staff.
Attendees participated in a pro-style workout that included laser-timed 60-yard dashes using VALD Performance gates, batting practice with TrackMan technology, and defensive evaluations with arm strength metrics recorded at each position. The event served as an early summer opportunity for players to update their profiles, collect verified data, and showcase their tools heading into a busy summer schedule. In addition to collecting valuable data, players were also evaluated for some of Prep Baseball's premier national events, including the Senior Future Games (2027s), Future Games (2028s), Southeast Super Sophomore Games (2029s), and Junior Future Games (2030-2031s).
Today we take an individualized look at all of the pitchers from the Rising Stars ID portion of the event.
