On Monday, February 16th, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff traveled to the Bud Dome in St. Louis, MO to host the annual St. Louis Preseason ID. This event was open for all 2026-2029 class members and featured 49 players from the area.

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 Kansas City Top Prospect Games and Missouri State Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.

Shortly after the event, our staff compiled several of the day’s stat leaders inside our traditional ‘Stat Story’, which you can find HERE. 

Today, after combing through our notes from the day, we’ve compiled some of the event’s standouts below within these ‘Quick Hits’.
