Assistant Scouting Director

Last week, Prep Baseball PNW hosted the 2026 Pacific Northwest State Games at Ridgefield Outdoor Recreation Center in Ridgefield, WA. The summer's premier baseball showcase event featured players in the 2027-2029 graduating classes, with many strong showings throughout.

The Pacific Northwest State Games event is a culmination of the year in high school baseball, bringing together some of the area's top prospects. The State Games allow college coaches to see how talent stacks up and recruit future contributors, with hundreds of players from the first two year's events going on to secure a college commitment. This year's event featured a great turnout of college coaches across the three days of workouts and gameplay.

Earlier, we released our Statistical Analysis, Positional Data Dive, and Pitching Data Dive stories, in addition to our Quick Hits for the 2027 and 2028 classes. Today, we conclude our series of post-event content with our Quick Hits for the 2029 class. Prospects are listed alphabetically by last name. For all other post-event content, click here. 

2026 PNW State Games

Quick Hits - 2029's

OF Jacob Bancroft (Central)
A key young piece for the defending Oregon 5A state champions, Bancroft offers advanced pop and strength for his age. The 6'0, 190 pound righthander was great in his BP portion of the event, barrelling balls up to 96.9 MPH and 351 feet. The athleticism is best suited for a corner OF role at this current time, with throws up to 80 MPH as well. Bancroft held his own in the gampeplay portion of State Games as well and looks to be a varsity regular for years to come.

INF/RHP Camden Buchheit (Sprague)
One of the highest upside arms in Oregon's 2029 class, Buchheit impressed at an ID event earlier this summer and continued to look the part in Ridgefield. The 6'3 arm ran the fastball up to 85.7 MPH, sitting 81-85 throughout. The lean frame and clean arm action should lead to easy velocity jumps as he continues to mature. The offense looked better in his latest showing as well, peaking with a 94.8 MPH exit velocity while averaging 88.5 MPH in BP rounds. Must-follow prospect in Oregon.

C/RHP Lukas Daniels (Barlow)
The JFG alum showcased some really quality strides in his overall game, setting many new bests metrically. Daniels found success on the mound with a carrying FB up to 84.5 MPH, up a couple of ticks from his winter bullpen. The CH and breaking ball both flashed as real weapons and were thrown late in counts. Daniels carries a heavier barrel through the zone with balls hit up to 375 feet and 95.5 MPH. The young player makes part of an exciting core at Barlow heading into next high school season.

INF/RHP Greyson Garza (Steilacoom)
Garza's arm and speed stand out amongst his peers at this point, with a well-rounded overall game. The wiry-framed righty was up to 86 MPH with his fastball, mixing in a CH and SL. Garza's mound presence and ability to compete in the zone are advanced for his age, demonstrated at LakePoint at NPI earlier this summer. The infielder stayed within himself in BP rounds with consistent line drive contact, averaging an 89.3 MPH exit velocity and reaching base multiple times during gameplay. A 6.88 runner in the 60, Garza is certainly a name to keep a close eye on moving forward.

INF/RHP Brody Gillaspy (Sumner)
A top-ten ranked prospect in Washington, Gillaspy intrigued at his first Prep Baseball showcase in Ridgefield. The wiry-athletic 6'0 prospect really looked the part with the glove and should stick on the dirt. The 6.91 speed manifested in lateral quickness with soft hands at field point. Though the offensive numbers may not jump out in a workout setting, Gillaspy got it done consistently in-game, highlighted by a loud double early on in gameplay. The RH swing carries some rawness but stays through the middle of the field well with sneaky bat speed. Gillaspy looks to be the next of several exciting prospects coming out of Sumner in recent years.

OF/RHP Cameron Hockett (Mt. Spokane)
The current top-ranked prospect in Washington's 2029 class, Hockett flashed his two-way skill at State Games. He began his week with a solid workout day, posting a 7.17 60 yard dash time, throws up to 86 MPH from the outfield, and exit velocities up to 96.7 MPH. Hockett had a tough draw on the mound against the ProCase team, but looked unfazed against the older competition and settled in after a while. The fastball was up to 85 MPH, sitting more 83-84 and paired with a CH/CB offspeed duo. The righty features a simple, repeatable mechanical operation with a longer swing into a high 3/4 slot release. Name to follow on both sides of the baseball.

INF/RHP Drey Lopez (Newport)
Arguably one of the biggest winners of the event, Lopez's upside on the mound and at the plate cannot be overstated. The righty plays even larger than his listed 6'3, 200 pound frame on the hill, featuring easy plus extension giving added life on a FB up to 89.3 MPH. The feel for the zone came and went a bit in this look, but Lopez delivered one of the most efficient starts we saw all spring earlier this year. Lopez moves well for his size with a 7.2 60 time and a strong lower half, paired with clean actions and 89 MPH throws defensively in his workout. The long levers allow for leverage and power at the plate as well, blasting EV's up to 101.8 MPH. The swing works short to long with controlled aggression and a two-handed finish. Must-follow prospect on the rise.

RHP/INF Owen Luke (University Prep)
Another huge winner on the summer circuit, Luke built on an exceptional freshman spring and enters the fall as one of the top arms in the class. The 6'1 arm works through a lower arm swing with a whippy action into a 3/4 slot release. The fastball had some run at times, getting in on the hands of RHH up to 88.7 MPH. Luke has advanced feel for the CH for his age, sitting 75-77 MPH with fading action. Mechanically, Luke repeats well and maintains arm speed when throwing his offspeed pitches. Strong showing.

RHP Andrew Lynch (Hazen)
Lynch faced some unlucky breaks but flashed potential in a spring look, and he looks to have made some major strides already on the mound. Lynch works through his target well with a more upright posture throughout, working through a clean arm swing into a 3/4 slot release. The FB was up to 86.7 MPH, sitting 83-85 in his shorter stint. Lynch leaned on the SL heavily, a 74-76 MPH pitch with sharp, late horizontal action. The medium RH frame carries plenty of room to add and should continue to trend upwards. 

RHP/OF Mason Meseberg (Royal)
Few players in the 2029 class can match the raw strength of the Royal HS product, who posted some louder metrics in all facets. Meseberg had a great workout day to open his state games, generating throws up to 86 MPH from the outfield to go alongside exit velocities up to 96.8 MPH. The LH swing stays through the zone well with a tight, aggressive hand path to contact. Meseberg also made a nice jump on the mound since his previous look in the winter, running the heater up to 86.8 MPH. A firm CH at 79-80 MPH played well off of the FB, and he features a low 70's CB as his third offering. Intriguing follow.

INF/RHP Cole Migaki (Central Catholic)
Firmly established in Oregon's top ten rankings to this point, Migaki's cool confidence was apparent in his game all week long. The righthander saw early varsity action this spring on the hill and turned in a nice outing in Ridgefield, sitting 84-86 MPH with the fastball with a CH/SL offspeed pairing. The SL in particular was used more in this outing to find success. Migaki also reached base several times over his three games played offensively, carrying bat speed up to 78 MPH with gap to gap power. In his BP, he drove balls up to 95.6 MPH and 372 feet as well. 4th ranked prospect in Oregon.

OF Nathan Pohl (Olympia)
After posting one of the best 60 yard dash times all year at a Scout Day earlier this summer, Pohl one-upped himself with an even better time at State Games. The young outfielder led the event with a 6.46 second run, with an ultra-quick burst leading to a 1.53 10 yard split. The athleticism should play exceptionally well in center field as he develops and matures in his reads and breaks. The swing carries some rawness from the left side, but should play well at the top of the lineup with more hit over power present currently. Pohl's speed is worth betting on and could be a game-changing tool down the line.

INF Griff Reed (Seattle Prep)
One of the more consisent performers across the whole of 2026, Reed has excelled in multiple in-game looks with a well-rounded game on the position player side. Listed at 6'1 175, Reed can play anywhere on the infield with ample arm strength and fluid, clean actions. He ran a new-best 7.08 60 time at State Games, and looks to be the type that continues to elevate his speed as he matures. Reed's offensive profile can develop in a couple of different ways, but currently he holds some gap power with some lag and a heavier barrel carried through the zone. Reed drove balls up to 353 feet and 92.7 MPH in his BP rounds and reached base a couple of times in-game. 

INF/RHP Owen Schneller (Bellarmine Prep)
After a couple of spring looks, we knew the toolset was loud for the top-ten ranked WA 2029 prospect. Schneller took it to another level in his first Prep Baseball showcase look, blasting two mammoth home runs during gameplay at Ridgefield. The 6'1, 205 pounder carries strength and length through the zone with a strong-wristed, lofted swing operation. He looks the part in the corner INF as a potential middle of the order power stick. On the mound, Schneller possesses real arm strength and upside, running his fastball up to 87.4 MPH with a CH/SL offspeed combination. If he can improve his ability to fill the strike zone, he could quickly become one of the most imposing two-way players in the state.

INF/RHP Tanner Sullivan (Richland)
Sullivan really boosted his stock at State Games and looks to be the next of what's been a steady stream of talent coming out of Richland High School. The 6'0, 160 pounder moves well on the dirt with 7.1 speed and should stick on the left side of the diamond. Offensively, Sullivan was as consistent as could be in his BP rounds, peaking with a 95.9 MPH exit velocity while averaging 92.1 MPH. Sullivan carries some tilt in the upper half with a more narrow base at impact, finding the barrel on a line and in the air. He also ran a fastball into the low 80's on the mound. Intriguing follow.
