North Mississippi Fall ID: Infielder Reports
September 21, 2023
SENATOBIA, MS - The North Mississippi Fall ID was held on Saturday, September 9th at Northwest Mississippi CC in Senatobia, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2026 classes across all parts of Mississippi. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.
Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at the scouting reports from the event. Next, we look at all infielders from the North Mississippi Fall ID.
