On Friday, October 11th, the Prep Baseball Idaho staff hosted it's annual Scout Day with the College of Southern Idaho, CSI Scout Day, on-campus at Skip Walker Field in Twin Falls, Idaho. This event featured over 30 players, both freshman and sophomores, within the Golden Eagles baseball program and gave coaches a chance to collected updated TrackMan data and metrics on their players.

Earlier this week, we broke down the top pitching data performers from the event with our Pitching Data Dive articles. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
