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 unveiled our Statistical Analysis, looking at leaders in major stat categories, and our Positional Data Dive, focusing specifically on leaders in position player data. Today, we release our Pitching Data Dive, looking at leaders in metrics on the mound. Stay tuned in the coming days for all post-event content, including scouting breakdowns from the third annual State Games. For all other post-event content, click here.
