The Prep Baseball South Carolina Fall Games brought together 2027-2030 prospects from across the state on Sunday, September 13 in Bluffton, South Carolina.

The Fall Games provided players with an opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of Prep Baseball scouts in both a workout and competitive setting. The smaller roster allowed our staff to get an extended look at each player throughout the day.

The event began with a position-player showcase that included athletic testing, batting practice, and defensive evaluations. Game play followed the workout, with pitchers taking the mound against live hitters and position players getting the opportunity to perform in a competitive game setting.

Below, we take a closer look at the players and performances from the South Carolina Fall Games.
