Mississippi Preseason All-State: Statistical Leaderboards
February 2, 2026
STARKVILLE, MS — The Mississippi Preseason All-State was held on Sunday, February 1st at the Palmeiro Center on the campus of Mississippi State that featured top talent from the 2026-2029 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 kickoff our post-event coverage with a look at the statistical leaderboards from the event, with more breakdowns and full scouting reports coming soon.
