On Saturday, May 31st, the Prep Baseball California team hosted the Future Games Tryout: Malibu at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Cal. This was an invite-only event for high school classes (2026-27), and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

Nearly 40 players made their way to Pepperdine University this past weekend and participated in a pro-style workout, gathering unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art tech partners, as well as in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball California staff.

Today, we will be looking at all of the pitcher scouting reports:
