State Director, Prep Baseball Dakotas

Dakotas - As we head into 2026, Prep Baseball Dakotas took an in-depth look at the numbers collected from our events throughout the past year. 2025 was an outstanding year as we continued our mission to help players across the state reach the next level—providing a platform to showcase their abilities and be seen by college programs nationwide. More than 900 colleges and professional teams subscribe to Prep Baseball’s services.

After compiling data from events held across the Dakotas in 2025, we’ve highlighted the top statistical performers in multiple categories. While these numbers don’t represent everything documented by our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, they offer a strong snapshot of where each class currently stands.
