As we move through the offseason, Prep Baseball Oregon continues our series of State Games Spotlights. This series aims to highlight standout performers at our top invite-only 2025 PNW State Games event. Prep Baseball spotlights aim 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.

Today, we spotlight '27 C Caden Kingsbury. The backstop out of Glencoe High School was seen multiple times in 2025, first at PNW Preseason All-State and later at PNW State Games.

A 6'3 prospect, Kingsbury's showcases have been highlighted by mid 90's exit velocities, a 7.00 second 60-time and a best pop time of 2.02 seconds. Below is a complete breakdown of the player, including scouting reports and video from the event.
