Corvallis PSID - Quick Hits

February 19, 2025
Dylan Grenz
Associate Scout

On Saturday February 15th, Prep Baseball Oregon hosted the Corvallis Preseason ID at Oregon State University. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2025-2028 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.

Preseason ID events serve as an identifier heading into the spring high school season, providing Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters a list of prospects to follow as they plan their spring coverage. We also tend to see prospects’ best performances in the preseason, as most athletes are fresh and coming off of strict and targeted off-season training programs that have resulted in big gains. Standout performances can lead to invitations to some of the summer's biggest invite-only events, including the Pacific Northwest State Games, Prep Baseball Future Games, and more.

Today, Prep Baseball releases our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout players from the event. Players are listed alphabetically by last name. For all other post-event content, click here.

Impressive all-around performance.

Quick feet and transfer to throw behind the plate, led the event with a 1.99 second pop time.

One of the most impressive arms on the day, Copony showcased a strong all-around game. Ideal long-limbed 6'4 frame moved well down the mound.

'27 INF Colson Swartz (Silverton)
Polished left-handed bat who jumped into the cage with confidence and started ripping line drives right out of the gate. Simple, balanced approach with few moving parts.

Defends with confidence.
