WILMINGTON, NC -- On Saturday, May 16th, Prep Baseball North Carolina was back in Wilmington for the 2026 Wilmington Summer ID and the Wilmington Post 10 Scout Day, held together at Buck Hardee Field at Legion Stadium. The event featured players from the 2026-2031 grad classes, giving our staff an opportunity to evaluate a wide range of talent from across the region in a full showcase setting.

Players opened the workout with laser-timed 60-yard dashes, collecting 10-yard and 30-yard split data along the way. Position players then moved through an offensive workout that included multiple rounds of batting practice on the field with TrackMan technology capturing ball flight and batted ball data, while players attending the ID also received BLAST swing metrics. Defensively, players worked through position-specific evaluations, allowing our scouting staff to gather looks at athleticism, footwork, hands, exchanges, arm action, and overall defensive actions while recording arm strength data across the field.

Additional athletic testing, including jump metrics, was also collected throughout the day. Pitchers wrapped up the event with controlled bullpen sessions featuring TrackMan ball flight data, giving an in-depth look into pitch metrics, movement profiles, and overall arsenal evaluation.

Over the coming days, Prep Baseball NC will continue to release statistical leaderboards, scouting notes, and player reports from both events.

VALD PERFORMANCE

TOP 60-YARD DASH

Rank Name State School Class Pos 60-yd
1 Ben Rasmussen NC Hoggard 2028 RHP 6.92 s
2 Jackson Brooks NC Emsley A Laney 2027 3B 7.09 s
3 Gavin Templeman NC South Brunswick 2026 LHP 7.30 s
4 Trevor Wright NC New Hanover 2028 C 7.51 s
5 Kingston Moore NC New Hanover 2028 3B 7.67 s

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10- and 30-yard splits, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.
