MEMPHIS, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Memphis Rising Stars ID was held on Sunday, March 16th at Gagliano Field in Memphis, 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.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at the scouting reports on all catchers who attended the event.
