2026 Columbia Rising Stars ID: Quick Hitters - Position Players

July 7, 2026
Sammy Esposito
PB SC Director of Scouting

The 2026 SC Rising Stars ID was set for Wednesday, July 1st, at The University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. The Rising Stars IDs help update evaluations and metrics. This setting provides a prime opportunity for prospects to strengthen their Prep Baseball profiles and position themselves for invitations to premier summer events such Carolina Border Battle, SC Top Prospect Games, and JR Future Games.

The Preseason ID plays a crucial role on the Prep Baseball calendar, serving as an early identification point before the SCHSL season. These events allow our scouting staff, and college recruiters, to establish a strong follow list entering the spring. Our staff strategically hosts preseason events across the state with the goal of identifying emerging prospects who have capitalized on the offseason, while also re-evaluating known players trending upward. Complete player profiles, including tech metrics, statistics, video, and detailed scouting reports, will be published on the Prep Baseball Report website, which is followed by more than 1,000 college programs nationwide.

The event began with A pro-style workout for all the position players followed that included running a laser timed 60 recorded using Vald Preformance Technology, pitcher bullpens with each pitch tracked by Trackman, a defensive evaluation, and finished with BP with TrackMan ball flight analysis.

Below we will look at the statistical breakdown for the event.

QUICK HITTERS (LISTED ALPHABETICALLY)

Brock Beasley 3B / SS / James Island Charter, SC / 2030

Beasley showed a young, projectable profile with plenty of room for physical development.  The 2030 graduate displayed solid athletic actions throughout the workout and flashed a 65 mph infield arm, showing the ability to make routine plays across the diamond.  His frame and movements suggest there is more strength and offensive production to come as he matures.  Beasley is an early follow whose long-term development will be worth tracking over the next several years.

Parker Ferguson OF / RHP / Lucy Garrett Beckham High, SC / 2030

Ferguson showed an athletic, projectable profile with plenty of room for continued physical development.   The 2030 prospect posted a 7.52 sixty with a 1.71 ten-yard split, displaying solid athleticism that should continue to improve as he adds strength.  His movements throughout the workout were controlled and under control, providing a solid foundation for future growth.  With a lean frame and athletic traits already in place, Ferguson is a young prospect worth following as he continues to mature.

Eli Flowers C / 2B / Trinity Collegiate, SC / 2030

Flowers showed a solid foundation behind the plate with plenty of room for future development.  The right handed hitter produced an 81.5 mph exit velocity and drove the ball 291 feet, flashing present strength for a young catcher.  Defensively, he recorded pop times between 2.26 and 2.37 with a 67 mph catcher arm, giving him a solid catch and throw baseline as he continues to mature.  With a projectable frame and developing defensive skills, Flowers is a 2030 catcher worth following over the next few years.
