On June 4th, the Prep Baseball California team hosted the Orange County Summer ID at Hart Park in Orange, Cal. This was an open event for high school classes (2026-29), and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top prospects.

38 players made their way to Hart Park 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 outfielder’s scouting reports:
