2026 Kansas City Preseason ID: Event Preview


Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Saturday, February 14th, the Prep Baseball Kansas staff will travel to the Homefield Training Center in Olathe, KS, to host the Kansas City Preseason ID. This event, in its third year, is open to all 2026-to-2029 graduates, with 70+ prospects already set to attend.

All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games, Super Sophomore Games, Super Senior Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.
