GALLATIN, TN — The Tennessee Preseason All-State: Underclass was held at the Liberty Creek HS Indoor Facility on Saturday, February 7th that featured some of the top talent in the 2028-2030 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 infielders from the event, with more breakdowns and full scouting reports coming soon.
