Throughout the 2024 season Prep Baseball Scouts will be working to track and see as many games and players as possible. Each week the scouting staff will post game coverage, scout blog, player video and more.  This will be done in conjunction with Inside the Box, a daily scoreboard with select game and player highlights.

Below are some of the top performances by players across North Carolina, from last week.  High School coaches and the scouting staff of Prep Baseball North Carolina compiled this list.  High School coaches can communicate players that should be considered for Player of the Week or Diamond Notes by emailing Brandon Hall at [email protected]
