Magnolia State Games: Pitcher Reports
July 24, 2023
HATTIESBURG, MS - The Magnolia State Games was held on Tuesday, June 13th and Wednesday June 14th at the The University of Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, MS. This event was the top invite-only 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 innings during game play and were able to get numbers and metrics via TrackMan. 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 at the event.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at the scouting reports from the event. Next, by looking at the Top-5 pitchers from the event along with the best of the rest.
The Magnolia State Games is a key identifier for the Prep Baseball Report Future Games and over the last three years, the Magnolia State Games has produced 28 Future Gamers.
