NASHVILLE, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Nashville Summer ID was held on Tuesday, June 4th at Lipscomb Academy. 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 game play. 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 at the scouting reports from the event. Next, we look at the outfielder reports from the Nashville Summer ID.
