Prep Baseball Report

PBR ProCase West - Tate Southisene


Nick Rupp
Nevada Scouting Director

The PBR ProCase - West was an Invite Only event for the top draft prospect in California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah’s 2024 and 2025 Classes that will feature a Pro-Style Workout with Live Game Play to follow at the University of Southern California on Sunday, June 4, 2023. This event will serve as the final identifier for the inaugural 2023 PBR All-American Game where the top 2024 and 2025 prospects from around the country will go head to head in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at American Family Field. 

This event featured the complete Prep Baseball Report Tech Package that includes a Vizual Edge assessment, TrackMan Pitching / Hitting Analysis and Blast Motion In-Swing Analysis. The technology used at the PBR ProCase - West parallels the technology used by professional teams to monitor and evaluation performance within their own organizations and has become a streamlining feature in the evaluation of amateur athletes compared to players currently in their system.

We continue our PBR ProCase Highlight series with Nevada's #2 ranked 2025 and USC commit, Tate Southisene




Scouting Report

6/04/23

Tate Southisene, Coral Academy of Science (NV), 2025 Southern California
Positional Profile: SS/2B Tate has stepped out of his brother's shadow and made a name for himself over the past year. His ability to hold down multiple positions at a high level with his power potential now becoming present power will add another advanced feature to his game.
Body: 5-10, 156-pounds. Athletic, proportionate build. Some present strength with more to come. Twitchy actions with additional physicality expected to amplify each part of his game.
Hit: RHH. Tall, slightly opened set up. High bat toggle into a low hovering stride leg kick that lands back to square. Weight shifts forward with bat entering the zone early and lifting throughout extension. Advanced, consistent feel for his barrel with loud contact throughout his batting practice session. His bat has steadily turned into a high level too that has also seen the power potential transition into present power that was on display during the Live Game where he double down the left field line. Southisene has solidified himself as not only one the top bats in Nevada's 2025 Class, but one of the top bats in the state, regardless of class.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 92 mph. 374' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-68 mph. Smooth, clean arm action. Present carry with accuracy. Easy arm slot changes to stay fluid through the fielding process.
