January 20, 2026
Prep Baseball Mississippi Staff

FLOWOOD, MS — The Central Mississippi Preseason ID was held on Monday, January 19th at GRIT Training in Flowood, MS that featured top talent from the 2026-2030 classes. Players went through a pro-style workout with TrackMan and VALD Performance tech, while pitchers threw in a bullpen setting and were able to get data and metrics on our TrackMan unit.

Some prospects built on past showings, while others made strong first impressions.

We continue our post-event coverage with a look at the statistical leaderboards from the event, with more breakdowns and full scouting reports coming soon.
