Our annual series called Need 2 Know (N2K) is back. This is about highlighting some must see players in a particular region. The categories are as follows: Catchers, Pitchers, Infielders, Outfielders, Hitters, and Uncommitted Players. The goal is to highlight some of the top talent in that particular area and give people a preview of what to expect in 2026. While doing that, it was the goal of our staff to place players in the most appropriate category according to their strengths. We also made a concerted effort to not place an individual in multiple categories, unless we felt necessary. 

We take a look in the western portion of the state this week, where we have identified some of the best hitters that you should get out and see this spring.
