Top Prospect Games: Upperclass – Event Rewind

The Top Prospect Games: Upperclass took place at McCrary Park in Asheboro, NC, on Sunday, October 19, 2025, featuring many of the top 2026 and 2027 graduates from across North Carolina. This invite-only event gathered a deep and talented group of players for a comprehensive day of workouts and live competition in front of Prep Baseball’s scouting staff.

Players opened the day with a pro-style workout, showcasing their offensive and defensive abilities. Athletic testing, powered by VALD Performance, provided verified results for laser-timed 60-yard dashes, jump analytics, and additional movement data. During multiple rounds of batting practice, TrackMan technology captured detailed ball flight metrics, offering a deeper look into each hitter’s offensive profile.

After the workout, players participated in a controlled scrimmage, allowing pitchers and position players to compete in live-game settings.

The Top Prospect Games serve as a vital identifier for Prep Baseball’s regional and national events, including the NC/SC Border Battle and the Tobacco Road Games, both spotlighting top prospects from the Carolinas and beyond.

As we review the event, we’ll highlight the top performers, statistical leaders, and standout prospects who strengthened their profiles heading into the next stage of the recruiting calendar.
