At The Yard Podcast: New Episode LIVE now!

On Tuesday, July 8th, the Prep Baseball California team hosted the Central California Summer ID at Ventura College in Ventura, CA. This was an open event for high school classes (2026-29), and gave our staff an ample look at the development of some of the top talent in the area and introduced our staff to new names to know after their performances.

38 players made their way to Ventura College this past week and participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners (VALD, Blast Motion, and TrackMan) as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball California staff.

Today, we will be looking at analysis of the outfielders in attendance at the event and for more information including stats from the event, click here.
