HATTIESBURG, MS - The Hattiesburg Open was held on Tuesday, June 6th at the The University of Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2027 classes across all parts of Mississippi. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics. 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 Tuesday.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we break down our scouting reports from the event. First, by taking a look at all infielders who attended the Hattiesburg Open.
