NASHVILLE, TN - The Nashville Open & Rising Stars ID was held on Tuesday, May 30th at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN. This event was an open event that consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2028 classes from Volunteer state. 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 on at the event.

Today we will continue releasing our scouting reports from the event, looking at all infielders from the Nashville Open.
