Tucson Summer ID: Infield Reports


Prep Baseball AZ
Scouting Staff

This past Saturday, the Prep Baseball Arizona staff hosted it's final Summer ID event with the Tucson Summer ID. This event featured roughly 30 prospects in the 2026–2029 classes and provided a valuable opportunity for young athletes to get quality reps in a structured setting and compete in front of our staff. After some of the standout performances on Saturday, it is clear that the uncommitted talent pool in Arizona is deep.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at the scouting reports on all infielders who attended the event.
