December 11, 2025
As we wrap up the 2025 calendar year and head into the offseason, the Prep Baseball Arkansas staff takes a look back at some of the top statistical performers that we saw at our events throughout the past year. Throughout this series, our staff will be highlighting Natural State natives who put up loud numbers while showcasing their tools to our staff throughout our showcases.
These leaderboards were compiled solely based on numbers at our state events, including Super 60, Preseason IDs, All-States, Summer IDs, Top Prospect Games, Scout Days, Fall IDs, Future Games, and the All-American Game, too.
