North Carolina on the National Stage

The Super 60 Pro Showcase continues to serve as the gold standard for uncommitted and committed draft talent, and the 24th annual edition in Chicago once again delivered a defining look at the top prospects in the 2026 class. From record-setting athletic testing to loud on-field tools, the floor of the event rose to rare heights, reinforcing why more than 100 MLB scouts and decision-makers prioritize this stop every winter.

While the measurable data and analytical outputs will be dissected for weeks to come, the Super 60 remains, at its core, a proving ground—where advanced athletes are challenged to separate themselves in a controlled, scout-heavy environment. North Carolina was well represented on the national stage, with multiple high-end prospects showcasing tools that stack up with the best in the country.
