417 Baseball Scout Day: Quick Hits


Prep Baseball Missouri Staff

On Saturday, November 1st, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff traveled to Meador Park in Springfield, MO to host the annual 417 Baseball Scout Day. This event featured 25+ players from the 417 Baseball program in attendance.

All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.
