POPLARVILLE, MS — The Mississippi Freshman Free Showcase was held on Sunday, September 7th at Pearl River CC that featured top talent from the 2029 class. 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 the pitchers who attended the event.
