Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

TUSCALOOSA, AL - The 2026 Summer ID Tour made its penultimate stop on Tuesday, July 7th as Prep Baseball Alabama traveled to Northridge High School in Tuscaloosa, AL for the Tuscaloosa Summer ID and Tuscaloosa Rising Stars ID. The event featured prospects from the 2027-2032 graduating classes who participated in a full day of evaluations and data collection 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).
