Knoxville Rising Stars ID: Pitcher Reports


Prep Baseball Tennessee Staff

KNOXVILLE, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Knoxville Rising Stars ID was held on Sunday, March 30th at Knoxville Catholic HS in Knoxville, TN. This event was an open event that consisted of players from the 2029-2030 classes from Volunteer State. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Vald Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.

Today, we conclude our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at the scouting reports on all pitchers who were in attendance.
