Top Prospect Games: Underclass – Event Rewind
The Top Prospect Games: Underclass returned to McCrary Park in Asheboro, NC, on Saturday, October 18, 2025, showcasing many of the state’s top 2028 and 2029 graduates. This invite-only event brought together some of North Carolina’s most promising young talents for a full day of evaluation and competition in front of Prep Baseball’s scouting staff.
Players participated in a pro-style workout, featuring both offensive and defensive evaluations. Athletic testing, powered by VALD Performance, provided verified data on laser-timed 60-yard dashes, jump analytics, and other key athletic measures. During multiple rounds of batting practice, TrackMan tracked detailed ball flight data, offering insight into each hitter’s power and consistency.
Following the workout, players competed in a controlled scrimmage, giving pitchers and position players the opportunity to perform in live-game situations.
The Top Prospect Games serve as a key identifier for Prep Baseball’s regional and national events, including the NC/SC Border Battle and the Tobacco Road Games, both of which feature top talent from across the region.
As we look back at the event, we’ll break down the top performers, statistical leaders, and emerging prospects who could make a big impact as the recruiting calendar shifts toward their graduating classes.

ATHLETIC TESTING & MEASUREMENTS - Top Prospect Games Underclass
VALD PERFORMANCE
TOP 60-YARD DASH
Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented timing gates at the 10-yard split, 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.

TOP 30-YARD SPLIT
PEAK VERTICAL JUMP
MAX RSI JUMP
Simply put: RSI-modified (reactive strength index) is a ratio of input to output – the input is represented by time spent on the ground generating the force to jump, and the output is the height of that jump.
MAX GRIP STRENGTH
