We're less than a week away from the start of the Prep Baseball Mississippi winter calendar, in which our staff will trek across the state to run various events prior to the start of the high school season.

These events serve as an opportunity for aspiring collegiate athletes to accumulate accurate and verified measurable data in a workout setting while also showcasing their talents in front of our staff. By attending, players have the opportunity to update their Prep Baseball profile, which serves as a recruiting 'resume' in a way for each athlete. All of our events serve as identifiers for future high-level invite-only events like our Magnolia State Games, the prestigious Future Games and even the Prep Baseball All-American Game.

To see an event near you this winter, you can view our schedule HERE.

 Several of the state's top prospects have already signed up for one of our upcoming winter events, and we're eager to see the multitude of talent that Mississippi has to offer up-close. Below you will learn more about some of the players we are ready to get our first glimpse at in 2026.

2026 MISSISSIPPI WINTER WATCHLIST 🔍

 

Rece Atkinson RHP / SS / Kosciusko, MS / 2027 From July 31, 2025: Rece has continued his steady progression over the past few years and it culminated in an outstanding performance at the Future Games. The 6-3, 190 pound right hander from Kosciusko was dominant over his 2 innings of work versus Louisiana, using primarily a running fastball that worked 89-90 mph (T-91) and a breaking ball with quick, tight spin along with swing and miss action. He’s a bulldog and will be a great addition to campus wherever that ends up being!
