NASHVILLE, TN — The Nashville Rising Stars ID was held at Lipscomb Academy on Sunday, March 29th that featured some of the top talent in the 2030-2031 classes. Players went through a pro-style workout with TrackMan and VALD Performance tech, while pitchers threw in a bulllpen 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 event.
