MEMPHIS, TN - The Memphis Open was held on Wednesday, June 28th at FedEx Park on the campus of the University of Memphis. This event was an open event that consisted of players from the 2024-2028 classes from Volunteer state. Players went through an 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 get numbers and metrics on TrackMan. 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 on Wednesday.

Wrapping up our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at all scouting reports from the Memphis Open. Lastly, we take a look at all pitchers and catchers who attended the event.
