Oxford Summer ID: Infielder Reports
August 22, 2024
OXFORD, MS - The Oxford Summer ID was held on Wednesday, July 10th at The Farm in Oxford, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of prospects from the 2025-2027 classes across northern 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 in a bullpen setting 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 some of the scouting reports on all infielders who attended Oxford Summer ID.
