Oregon Uncommitted Spotlight - '26 INF Evan Valenzuela
December 22, 2025
As we move through the offseason, Prep Baseball Oregon features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers who have attended a Prep Baseball ID event this year. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
This week, we spotlight '26 INF Evan Valenzuela. The senior from Grants Pass High School was seen multiple times this year, first at the Corvallis Preseason ID and recently at the Holiday Hitters - Salem event.
A compact-framed, sweet swinging lefty, Valenzuela's showcases are highlighted by exit velocities into the mid-90's. Below is a complete player breakdown.
