2025 Summer Rewind: Top SC Top Catcher Pop Times


Sammy Esposito
PB SC Director of Scouting

As the summer of 2025 winds down, the Prep Baseball South Carolina staff took time to reflect on a busy and exciting stretch of events held across the state.

Over the course of three months, we evaluated standout talent from every corner of South Carolina, showcasing athletes who made their mark with explosive arms, powerful bats, and next-level athleticism.  Now, we turn to the numbers to spotlight the top statistical performers from this summer’s circuit.

Up next, we break down the top catcher pop times from the summer showcase circuit.  This leaderboard includes data from all Prep Baseball South Carolina summer events, including Scout Days, Summer IDs, Rising Stars IDs, Top Prospect Games, Future Games, Senior Future Games, Junior Future Games, and the East Coast Super Sophomore Games.
