North Portland Summer ID - Pitching Data Dive
June 25, 2025
On Thursday June 19th, Prep Baseball PNW hosted the North Portland Summer ID at the University of Portland - Joe Etzel Field. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2026-2029 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.
Summer ID events serve as an important tool for both Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters, who will subsequently create lists of prospects to follow as they plan their remaining summer coverage. We often tend to see prospects' best showings at Summer ID events, as players are fresh off playing for their respective high schools and are in the routine that consistently playing in-game offers. Standout performances can lend invites to some of the summer's top events, including the 2025 Pacific Northwest State Games.
Earlier we released our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout players from the event, our Statistical Analysis, looking at leaders in major stat categories for the event, and our Positional Data Dive, looking specifically at leaders in position player data. Today, we conclude our post-event content with our Pitching Data Dive, highlighting leaders in pitching metrics. For all other post-event content, click here.
