The top North Carolina event of the summer was hosted at Campbell University's JIm Perry Stadium on July 31 and August 1, 2024.  The Top Prospect Games featured 60 of the state's top uncommitted players for a  two day showcase giving players a chance to shine on a workout day and a game day.

The Top Prospect Games started with the workout day on July 31.  Players went through athletic testing, running a 60 and going through their jump tests.  The athletic testing was followed by an offensive workout and a defensive workout.  Players received multiple rounds of BP with TrackMan and BLAST collecting metrics on ball flight and the individual swings.  Defensive evals included arm strength with a radar gun as well as giving players different reps to move them around at their positions.  Day two featured two 8 inning games with hitters facing live pitchers in a controlled scrimmage.

Below we take a look back at the Top Prospect Games and some of the players that shined.  To view the entire event, with rosters, stats, and a collection of articles as they publish, CLICK HERE.
