2026 East Arkansas Summer ID/Rising Stars ID: Hitting Data Dive

July 3, 2026
Mikel Howell
Arkansas Asst. Director

On Tuesday, June 23rd, the Prep Baseball Arkansas staff hosted East Arkansas Summer ID/Rising Stars ID at Arkansas State Unversity's Tomlinson Stadium-Slayton Family Field in Jonesboro, AR. This year’s event hosted 29 prospects who participated in the showcase, and we'll begin highlighting the top performers among them. 

Earlier this week, we assembled leaderboards of the more traditional stat categories inside Thursday's Statistical Leaderboards, which you can view here.

Today, we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data that we collected at the event with the help of our partners at VALD Performance, TrackMan, Blast Motion, and Vizual Edge, using the valuable state-of-the-art technologies that they provide at Prep Baseball showcases.

Here’s a look at the position players who recorded some of the most impressive metrics across these many categories.
