Murfreesboro Summer ID: Pitcher & Catcher Reports
August 14, 2024
MURFREESBORO, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Murfreesboro Summer ID was held on Tuesday, July 9th at Riverdale High School in Murfreesboro, TN. 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 during a bullpen setting. 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.
Concluding our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at the scouting reports on all pitchers and catchers who attended the Murfreesboro Summer ID.
