On Saturday February 7, 2026 our staff saw right at 80 players from across VA/DC at the first 2026 winter event in NOVA. We hosted two events at Complete Game in Manassas, VA, the NOVA Freshman Free Showcase and the NOVA Preseason ID. Today we take a deep dive into the data from both the NOVA Freshmen Free and the NOVA Preseason ID. The data below look at the Top 5 scores in eight different categories, including both pitching and hitting statistical categories.
