LANCASTER, CALIF. - This past Saturday, October 11th, the Prep Baseball California team hosted the High Desert Uncommitted Games at Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, Cal. This event was for high school classes (2026-2028), and gives our staff an ample look at the area's top uncommitted prospects across these classes.

The 19 players in attendance began their day undergoing athletic testing utilizing VALD with a 60 yard sprint including 10-yard, 30-yard and max run speed, while also measuring their athleticism via jump testing (max vertical and RSI tests). From there the players participated in an on field batting practice session with each hitter taking between 15-20 swings to gather Trackman Technologies batted ball data and Blast Motion swing data. The workout concluded with defensive evaluations including arm velocity readings. After the workout wrapped up the players competed in a simulated game over eight full innings of play (three live pitchers / the rest off velocity machine) allowing our staff plenty of game-like evaluations.

Today, we will take a dive into the statistical analysis of the players in attendance focusing on some of the more traditional statistics provided from the workout.
