POPLARVILLE, MS — The South Mississippi Preseason ID was held on Sunday, January 18th at Pearl River CC in Poplarville, MS that featured top talent from the 2027-2030 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 conclude our post-event coverage with a look at some of the scouting reports on all pitchers from the event, with more breakdowns and full scouting reports coming soon.
