Sunday, the DC Prospect League continued its first season of competition at Fredericksburg Nationals Stadium. The league features four teams made up of top prospects from the 2021-2023 classes, with the purpose of making sure these players get a higher number of opportunities to be scouted than will be afforded them in the shortened and delayed 2021 VHSL season.

Here are some quick notes on a few players who stood out, look for a full Scout Blog with full videos late in the week:
