PBSC Staff
PB of SC

Prep Baseball South Carolina hosted its annual Fall Top Prospect Games on October 19th at USC Upstate, featuring standout talent from the 2026–2029 graduating classes. Widely regarded as one of the premier fall events on the Prep Baseball schedule.

The day opened with an defensive workout, were players moved into a defensive workout at their primary positions, giving coaches and scouts a closer look at each athlete’s athleticism, movements, and arm strength, along with athletic testing while testing there 10/30/60 yard splts, jump heights, and grip strengths. Following the defensive and athletic testing position players took live batting practice on the field.  Utilizing TrackMan and Blast Motion technology, players were evaluated on both pre-swing metrics and ball-flight analytics 

After the workout, players were divided into teams for a controlled game environment. Pitchers faced live hitters with carefully managed pitch counts to limit workload, while hitters gained valuable live reps against quality arms. This format allowed both scouts and college coaches to further evaluate players beyond the workout setting.  

Below, we highlight the top performers across select categories from the event.
