The Mississippi Fall Games are set for Saturday, September 27th at Holmes CC in Goodman, MS. This open game-play event gives prospects a chance to perform in front of evaluators and potentially secure invitations to future invite-only events like the Preseason All-State Showcase, Magnolia State Games, PB Future Games, Southeast Super Sophomore Games, and Top Prospect Games.
But here’s the truth: these opportunities are only as valuable as the preparation you put in beforehand. If you arrive without showcase-ready metrics—velocity, exit velo, pop-time, speed—you risk blending in instead of standing out.
Why This Event Matters
The Fall Games are designed to help Prep Baseball Report staff evaluate players heading into the offseason. Every performance will be:
-
Professionally filmed (multiple angles, edited highlights).
-
Uploaded to a Prep Baseball profile for recruiters to see.
-
Promoted across Prep Baseball’s national network, which includes nearly 1,000 colleges and pro scouts.
This visibility can help athletes get on the radar—but only if they have the tools to capture attention.
What You Get
Every registered player will receive:
-
Video Spotlight – Bullpens, live BP, defensive reps, and the 60-yard dash.
-
Analytics – TrackMan ball flight, pitch velocity/spin, and Blast Motion swing analysis.
-
Scouting Exposure – Post-event leaderboards, writeups, and highlights on PrepBaseballReport.com.
-
Permanent Player Profile – Showcasing metrics, video, and evaluations accessible to PBR+ subscribers (college coaches, recruiters, scouts).
The Hidden Factor: Preparation
While PBR showcases deliver exposure, exposure without preparation often leads to frustration. Scouts don’t just watch; they measure. Here’s what matters most:
-
Pitchers – Fastball velocity, secondary pitch quality, spin data.
-
Hitters – Exit velocity, swing efficiency, barrel consistency.
-
Fielders – Arm strength, defensive actions, and agility.
-
Runners – 60-yard dash times.
If you don’t have competitive numbers, the event becomes a wake-up call instead of a recruiting opportunity.
That’s why preparing months in advance with a program like TopVelocity’s 3X Pitching Velocity Program or 2X Position Player Program is essential. These systems build the mechanics, strength, and explosiveness that translate directly into showcase metrics. And once you hit the velocity benchmarks, we help refine pitch development and sequencing so you’re not just throwing hard—you’re pitching to win.

Get Showcase-Ready with TopVelocity Camps
Attending a showcase can open doors—but only if you arrive ready to prove you belong. Too many players show up with raw talent but lack the measurable tools (velocity, exit velo, pop-times) that scouts and coaches are specifically there to see. That’s why our TopVelocity Camps are designed to give you the edge before you step onto that stage.
3X Velocity Camp – Pitching That Stands Out
Pitchers who get noticed aren’t just throwing strikes—they’re throwing with power, efficiency, and consistency. At the 3X Velocity Camp, you’ll train to:
-
Add Real Velocity – Proven methods to safely gain 5–10+ MPH.
-
Sharpen Mechanics – Learn how to move like elite pitchers and protect your arm.
-
Build Explosiveness – Strength, mobility, and Olympic-style training to maximize output.
-
Gain Confidence Under Pressure – Mental strategies to perform when scouts are watching.
-
Use Advanced Tools – Video breakdowns and data feedback to fine-tune every throw.
When you leave camp, you’ll be armed with the velocity and mechanical efficiency that make recruiters pay attention.
2X Velocity Camp – Position Players Who Dominate
College coaches want players who can impact the game on both sides of the ball. At the 2X Velocity Camp, athletes focus on:
-
Elite Throwing Mechanics – Improve arm strength, accuracy, and quick release.
-
Explosive Hitting Power – Increase bat speed and exit velocity with proper sequencing.
-
Defensive Efficiency – Train for agility, range, and quick transfers.
-
Game-Ready Confidence – Walk into the showcase knowing your skills will stand out.
-
Personalized Development Plan – Leave camp with targeted drills to keep progressing.
This camp builds the all-around tools position players need to separate themselves from the crowd.
Why Train Before You Showcase?
Showcases are evaluations, not training sessions. You won’t get better during the event—you either arrive prepared, or you don’t. By training at a TopVelocity Camp first, you ensure you’re not wasting time and money. Instead, you’ll stand out with the metrics scouts want to see.
Key Points - Prepping for the Mississippi Fall Games
❓ How important are baseball showcases for recruiting?
Showcases can be a valuable part of the recruiting process because they put you in front of college coaches and scouts. But showcases alone don’t earn you a scholarship—your performance metrics do. If your velocity, exit velo, or pop-time aren’t at the level coaches expect, exposure won’t matter.
❓ What age should players start attending showcases?
For most players, sophomore or junior year of high school is the right time to begin. Before then, it’s usually better to focus on development so you can arrive with tools that actually stand out. Attending too early without the right measurables can waste both time and money.
❓ Can one great showcase get me recruited?
It’s possible, but rare. Recruiting is based on consistency over time. A strong performance at one showcase can spark interest, but continued development and repeat performances are what secure offers.
❓ Should I still attend showcases if I’ve already committed to a college?
Yes—committed players often attend for the experience, competition, and networking. It can also keep doors open in case your situation changes (coaching shifts, better offers, or draft opportunities).
❓ What should I do if I don’t get immediate attention after a showcase?
Don’t panic. Most players aren’t recruited on the spot. Instead, focus on:
-
Reviewing your showcase results
-
Identifying areas to improve (velocity, bat speed, mechanics)
-
Following up with coaches to show initiative
Continued growth is what gets you noticed.
❓ What’s the difference between showcases for pitchers and position players?
Some events evaluate all players together, while others specialize. For pitchers, velocity and pitch quality are heavily measured. For position players, throwing velocity, defensive range, and hitting metrics take center stage.
❓ How do I make sure a showcase is worth the investment?
The key is preparation. Without showcase-ready numbers, you risk becoming just another name on the roster. Training beforehand with programs like TopVelocity’s 3X (for pitchers) and 2X (for position players) ensures you have the velocity, mechanics, and explosiveness to stand out.
👉 Bottom line: Showcases are opportunities, not magic doors. They highlight the work you’ve already put in. The smarter move is to train first, showcase second.
