HATTIESBURG, MS - The Hattiesburg Summer ID was held on July 2nd at Pete Taylor Park on the campus of Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of some prospects from the 2025-2028 classes across all parts of Mississippi. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw simulated innings during gameplay 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 on all outfielders who attended the Hattiesburg Summer ID.
