2026 Rising Stars ID Columbia: Vald Athletic Testing Metrics


Sammy Esposito
PB SC Director of Scouting

The Rising Stars ID Columbia is set for Saturday, January 17th, at D-BAT Columbia in Columbia, SC. The Rising Stars IDs help update evaluations and metrics. This setting provides a prime opportunity for prospects to strengthen their Prep Baseball profiles and position themselves for invitations to premier summer events such Carolina Border Battle, SC Top Prospect Games, and JR Future Games.

The Preseason ID plays a crucial role on the Prep Baseball calendar, serving as an early identification point before the SCHSL season. These events allow our scouting staff, and college recruiters, to establish a strong follow list entering the spring. Our staff strategically hosts preseason events across the state with the goal of identifying emerging prospects who have capitalized on the offseason, while also re-evaluating known players trending upward. Complete player profiles, including tech metrics, statistics, video, and detailed scouting reports, will be published on the Prep Baseball Report website, which is followed by more than 1,000 college programs nationwide.

The event began with A pro-style workout for all the position players followed that included running a laser timed 60 recorded using Vald Preformance Technology, pitcher bullpens with each pitch tracked by Trackman, a defensive evaluation, and finished with BP with TrackMan ball flight analysis.

Below we will look at the statistical breakdown for the event.
