The inaugural 2026 Arizona State Games brought nearly 170 players from across the state to Arizona Athletic Grounds for three days of workouts and gameplay.

Players opened the event with a pro-style workout on Friday, completing TrackMan hitting evaluations, VALD Performance testing, defensive evaluations and Blast Motion testing before competing in three games throughout the weekend.

With talent represented across multiple graduating classes, the event provided an opportunity to evaluate many of Arizona’s top prospects while also identifying a number of emerging names. Below is a look at the top overall results from the event, with complete leaderboards available in the dropdown under each category.
