On Monday February 16th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted Pacific Northwest Preseason All-State and the NW Sports Hub in Centralia, Washington. Our top invite-only event of the preseason featured some of the best high school players from Washington and Oregon, with a multitude strong showings throughout the event.

The Preseason All-State Showcase is an invitation-only event that features the top players in the state, and has resulted in hundreds of college commitments over previous years. Every year the Preseason All-State Showcase highlights the who’s who of the PNW baseball scene. This event is limited and exclusive to the top prospects in the PNW and serves as a springboard as you enter the high school season. Standout performances help Prep Baseball Scouts map out their spring high school coverage, influence player rankings updates, and more.

Earlier, we released our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout players from the event, our Statistical Analysis, showcasing leaders in major stat categories, and our Positional Data Dive, focusing specifically on leaders in position player metrics. Today, we conclude our post-event content for PSAS with our Pitching Data Dive, looking at leaders in metrics on the mound. For all other post-event content, click here.
