GALLATIN, TN — The Nashville Preseason ID was held at Liberty Creek HS on Sunday, january 11th that featured top talent from the 2026-2030 classes. Players went through a pro-style workout with TrackMan, Blast Motion, and VALD Performance tech, while pitchers threw in a bullpen setting and were able to get data and metrics on our TrackMan unit.

Some prospects built on past showings, while others made strong first impressions.

We continue our post-event coverage with a look at the scouting reports on all position players who attended the Nashville Preseason ID.
