Tennessee Preseason All-State: Upperclass - VALD Performance Leaderboards
February 18, 2026
GALLATIN, TN — The Tennessee Preseason All-State: Upperclass was held at the Liberty Creek HS Indoor Facility on Saturday, February 8th that featured some of the top talent in the 2027-2028 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 kick off our post-event coverage with a look at the VALD Performance leaderboards from the event, with more breakdowns and full scouting reports coming soon.
