2026 Central Arkansas Summer ID/Rising Stars ID: Pitcher's Data Dive

July 7, 2026
Mikel Howell
Arkansas Asst. Director

On Tuesday, June 30th, the Prep Baseball Arkansas staff hosted Central Arkansas Summer ID/Rising Stars ID at the University of Central Arkansas' Bear Stadium in Conway, AR. This year’s event hosted 24 prospects who participated in the showcase, and we'll begin highlighting the top performers among them. 

On Thursday, we assembled leaderboards of the more traditional stat categories inside our Statistical Leaderboards, which you can view here, as well as a closer look at the showcase’s statistical standouts inside the Data Dive on Position Players, found here.

Today, we’ll wrap up our post-event coverage for the time being by publishing the leaderboards across these important pitching metrics, captured with the help of our partners at TrackMan.
