Data Dive: Northern Utah Rising Stars ID

The Northern Utah Rising Stars ID gave us an early look at some of the top emerging talent in the 2030 and 2031 classes, with around 30 prospects in attendance. Thank you to the staff at the host facility for providing a great environment for the event.
With many players making their first appearance on a Prep Baseball stage, the event provided a strong look at projectable frames, developing skill sets, and overall athleticism. Serving as an important early checkpoint, this event helps establish a baseline for future evaluation as these young prospects continue to develop and refine their tools. Performances from this event will play a role in identifying players to follow as they work toward future invite-only opportunities, including the Junior Future Games.
See below for the full leaderboards and top statistical performers from the event. Stay tuned for more post event content in the coming days.
