STARKVILLE, MS — The Mississippi Top Prospect Underclass Showcase was held on Saturday, October 11th at Mississippi State University that featured top talent from the 2028-2029 classes. Players went through a pro-style workout with TrackMan, 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 scouting reports on all outfielders who were in attendance at the event.
