Best of 2025 Leaderboard in SC: Top Defensive Metrics - Infielders

January 15, 2026
Sammy Esposito
PB SC Director of Scouting

Another year is in the books as we begin to take a look back at the year that was 2025. We give you our Prep Baseball South Carolina 2025 Leaderboard. For these players to qualify, they had to be at a Prep Baseball South Carolina affiliated event which include Open IDs, Team Carolina IDs, and our Invite Only Events. Many of these events are the top events in the state and region, as college coaches will dive into the rosters, stats, and notes after each event.

In this installment we take a look at the Top Defensive Metrics - Infielders of 2025.

(Note: These are the numbers players achieved at an event for Prep Baseball South Carolina. Some players may have improved their numbers at another state event or tournament. Click on the player to see their profile and learn more about each.)
