2026 St. Louis Preseason ID: Event Preview


Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

On Monday, February 16th, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff will travel to the Bud Dome in St. Louis, MO, to host the St. Louis Preseason ID. This event, in its seventh year, is open to all 2026-to-2029 graduates, with 50+ 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 Missouri State Games, Super Sophomore Games, Super Senior Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.
