MADISON, MS - The Mississippi Preseason All-State was held on Sunday, January 26th at the Southern Performance Institute in Madison, MS. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of players from the 2025-2029 classes in Mississippi. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw during a bullpen setting and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement while facing live hitters in simulated innings. 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 this week.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we look at the scouting reports on all infielders who attended the Mississippi Preseason All-State.
