2026 Heart of America Summer ID: Hitter's Data Dive

July 21, 2026
Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Tuesday, July 14th, the Prep Baseball Kansas staff hosted the Heart of America Summer ID at Al Ortolani Field on the campus of Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, KS. This year’s event hosted 30 prospects who participated in the showcase, and we'll begin highlighting the top performers among them.

Earlier this week, we assembled leaderboards of the more traditional stat categories inside Monday's Statistical Leaderboards, which you can view here.

Today, we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data that we collected at the event with the help of our partners at VALD Performance, TrackMan, Blast Motion, and Vizual Edge, using the valuable state-of-the-art technologies that they provide at Prep Baseball showcases.

Here’s a look at the position players who recorded some of the most impressive metrics across these many categories.
