2026 North Carolina ProCase: The State’s Top Pro Prospects Take the Field
Prep Baseball’s 2026 North Carolina ProCase brought together just under 30 of the top uncommitted and committed 2026 and 2027 professional prospects in the state for a complete pro-style evaluation at Diamond Xtreme Training in Kernersville, NC. With more than 30 professional scouts in attendance, the event served as one of the premier in-state looks at future draft talent.
The day opened with catchers running through their defensive workout before pitchers followed with a controlled bullpen session, allowing scouts and evaluators to gather detailed looks at pitch characteristics, command, and overall delivery. After the battery groups completed their work, hitters took the field for their offensive workout and athletic testing, producing measurable data alongside live evaluation.
Position players then concluded the day with infield and outfield defensive work, giving scouts a full view of actions, arm strength, and defensive instincts to pair with the offensive and pitching data collected earlier in the workout.
Throughout this series, we will highlight statistical leaders, measurable standouts, and key performers from the 2026 North Carolina ProCase — providing context behind the numbers and identifying players who separated themselves in front of the professional scouting community.
