Prep Baseball opened up the summer of 2025 evaluation season with multiple events at USA Baseball's National Training Center on Tuesday May 13th.  Two scout days combined with a Summer ID to bring 20 players, ranging from the 2026 - 2028 graduating classes.  Players were run through a full pro-style workout with Prep Baseball Scouts recording stats, metrics, and evaluating the players throughout the evening.

The workout began with a laser timed 60 yard dash.  10 yard and 30 yard splits were recorded using the VALD laser timing system as well.  Hitters then went through multiple rounds of BP with TrackMan capturing ball flight data off the bat.  Defensive workouts followed with each player working out at their defensive position, showcasing movement, arm path, release, carry and accuracy.  The day finished with pitchers throwing bullpens where TrackMan was again recording the ball flight data out of the hand.

The Team Carolina Summer ID provided an opportunity for high school players to update their Prep Baseball profiles as well.  Players evaluated are eligible for selection to Team Carolina events which include the NC/SC Border Battle, Future Games, Sr. Future Games, Jr. Future Games, Super Sophomore Games and the Top Prospect Games.
