MADISON, MS - The Central Mississippi Preseason ID was held on Sunday, January 19th at Madison-Ridgeland Academy in Madison, MS. This event 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, ran the 60-yard dash using VALD Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw during gameplay 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.

Concluding our post-event coverage for this event, we look at the scouting reports on all pitchers who were in attendance at the event.
