Preseason All-State: Rising Stars - Outfield Reports

EMERSON, GA - The Prep Baseball Georgia staff hosted the Preseason All-State Rising Stars event on March 1st. This event was an opportunity to see a talented group of 2029-2030 players. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using VALD Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw short bullpens with Trackman. 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 Saturday. Today, we will take an even closer look at the outfielders from those in attendance with the help of our tech partners, broken down by each player down below.
