2026 Preseason All-State Weekend: Itinerary, Pitching Rotations, and Staff Predictions


Cooper Trinkle
Scouting Director

The Preseason All-State Weekend is upon us and our staff is excited to host over 300 of Indiana's best over the course of the two-day event. The Upperclass portion will take place on Saturday, March 7th for 2027 grads, while the 2028s will showcase the next day on Sunday, March 8th. 

Our staff is looking forward to seeing breakout performers, along with prospects who are sure to reaffirm status as top prospects for their respective grades. 

Below is a 'one-stop shop' in some sense, containing a detailed schedule for each day, along with pitching rotations for each event, and our staff had some fun attempting to predict who will be the top performer in a handful of statistical categories. 

Please email [email protected] if you are signed up to pitch and do not see your name in the rotation.
