ZEBULON, NC -- On Sunday, May 17th, Prep Baseball North Carolina traveled to 5 County Stadium in Zebulon, NC for the 2026 Riptide Scout Day. The event featured players from the 2026-2031 grad classes, providing our scouting staff an opportunity to evaluate talent from across the state in a complete showcase environment.
The workout opened with laser-timed 60-yard dashes, collecting 10-yard split data for all attendees. Position players then went through a full offensive evaluation that included multiple rounds of batting practice on the field with TrackMan technology capturing batted ball and ball flight data. Defensively, players worked through position-specific drills and game-like actions, allowing our staff to evaluate athleticism, footwork, hands, exchanges, arm action, and overall defensive ability while recording arm strength metrics.
finished the event with controlled bullpen sessions as TrackMan collected detailed pitch data, movement profiles, and arsenal information.
In the coming days, Prep Baseball NC will continue releasing scouting notes and statistical leaderboards from the Riptide Scout Day as we break down the top performers and standout performances from the event.
