On Saturday, February 7th, the Prep Baseball Arkansas staff will travel to Max Velocity in Jonesboro, AR, to host the East Arkansas Preseason ID This event, in its sixth year, is open to all 2026-to-2029 graduates with 20+ prospects already set to attend.

All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games, Super Sophomore Games, Super Senior Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.
