Staff

Statesboro, GA - The Prep Baseball Georgia Staff traveled to Georgia Southern University for the final summer event.  These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw bullpen with 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 on Monday.
