PB of SC

The Prep Baseball South Carolina Top Prospect Games brought together some of the state’s top 2027-2030 prospects on Saturday, August 15, at Winthrop University.  This invite-only event featured a talented group of players from across South Carolina, giving our scouting staff another opportunity to evaluate some of the state’s top prospects in one setting.

The Top Prospect Games remain one of Prep Baseball’s longest-standing class-specific events and have built a strong reputation for attracting high-level talent.  Rosters are formed through past event performances, high school season evaluations, statistical production and continued looks from our scouting staff.  The event provides another important look at players who have shown the tools, athleticism and performance to project to the next level.

The day began with a full position-player workout, including running, batting practice and defensive evaluations, before transitioning into live game action.  Pitchers took the mound against live hitters, allowing our staff to evaluate players in a competitive setting following the morning workout. With the event complete, our staff now turns its attention to breaking down the performances, metrics and prospects who stood out at the 2026 SC Top Prospect Games.
