North Mississippi Rising Stars ID: Statistical Leaderboards

April 9, 2026
Prep Baseball Mississippi Staff

HERNANDO, MS — The North Mississippi Rising Stars ID was held on Wednesday, April 8th at Hernando High School that featured top talent from the 2030-2031 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 VALD Performance leaderboards from the event, with more breakdowns and full scouting reports coming soon.
