Open IDs give Prep Baseball Scouts a chance to see players from their area while also working to fill out rosters for upcoming regional and national events like the Future Games, Super Sophomore Games, and Top Prospect Games. The Team Carolina Trials fall under this Open ID forum. This event at Campbell was one of the final chances for players to perform for Prep Baseball Scouts. Several punched their ticket to Lake Point.
The event started with position players going through their athletic testing, including height and weight measurements, a vertical jump, RSI jumps, grip strength testing, and a laser timed 60. Offensive evaluations were next, including multiple rounds of BP. BP was followed by defensive evaluations and then pitcher bullpens.
