South Mississippi Rising Stars ID: TrackMan Hitting Files

March 29, 2023
PBR Mississippi Staff

Madison, MS - The South Mississippi Rising Stars ID was held on Saturday, March 25th at the Southern Performance Institute in Madison, MS. This event consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2027-2028 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and ran the 30 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout, 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 Saturday.

Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the leaders from each statistical hitting category recorded on the Trackman B1 unit.
