On Sunday, February 8th, the Prep Baseball Iowa staff hosted the Preseason ID-Eastern Iowa at the Eastern Iowa Sports Facility in Monticello, Iowa. This event marked the beginning of our long winter calendar and was a great way to kick things off, as over 30 players from around the state made the trip to showcase the gains they had made in the off-season.

Today, we are taking a look at some of the players that stood out to our scouting staff, with reports and comments on their showings, below.
