HATTIESBURG, MS — The Hattiesburg Rising Stars ID was held on Thursday, June 5th at the University of Southern Miss that featured top talent from the 2029-2030 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 the scouting reports on all players who attended the event.
