Tuscaloosa Summer ID: Positional Player Reports


Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

TUSCALOOSA, AL - The Tuscaloosa Summer ID was held on Tuesday, July 9th at Northridge High School in Tuscaloosa, AL. This event was an open event hosting some talented prospects from the 2025-2029 classes in Alabama. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw during a simulated bullpen and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. 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 this week.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all of the position players that were in attendance. Check back tomorrow as wrap up our coverage of the event by taking a look at all of the pitchers that threw a simulated bullpen.
