Prep Baseball Scouts were on hand at Ting Park in Holly Springs, NC on August 13th for the Prep Baseball Scout Day with Riptide Baseball. Players from the RipTide program in the 2025, 2026, and 2027 grad classes went through the workout. The day began with a laser timed 60 followed by an offensive rotation and evaluation. TrackMan tracked ball flight throughout the multiple rounds of BP taken on the field. Following BP, players worked out at their defensive positions. Pitchers then threw controlled bullpens.
