PBR Georgia hosted the first ever Macon Open at Mercer University in Macon, Ga on June 29th. The first time event was open to all high school aged prospects in the state and featured nearly 30 uncommitted 2023-2026s. Prospects participated in a pro-style workout and bullpens in front of our scouting staff.

In the days that followed the event, we produced post-event analysis that included a look at the traditional stats measured within our Statistical Analysis piece.

We began our post-event process last week by rolling out the individual scouting reports of the day, starting with the catcher and infielder positions. Today, we move onto the outfielders. We will jump to the mound tomorrow, and wrap things up with a top prospect article on Thursday.
