On Tuesday, September 24th, the Prep Baseball Nevada staff hosted it's annual Scout Day with the College of Southern Nevada, CSN Coyotes Scout Day, at Earle E. Wilson Stadium on the campus of UNLV in Las Vegas, Nevada. This event featured roughly 17 players, both freshman and sophomores, within the Coyotes baseball program and gave coaches a chance to collected updated TrackMan data and metrics on their players.

Earlier this week, we broke down the top pitching data performers from the event with our Pitching Data Dive articles. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
