This week, Prep Baseball hosted the 2026 PNW Top Prospect Games at Heritage High School in Vancouver, WA. The latest invite-only event this summer featured players in the 2027-2029 graduating classes, with many strong showings throughout.

The 2026 PNW Top Prospect Games aims to bring high-level talent in the area to one location, stacking up to see, both in a showcase workout setting, as well as gameplay, who can elevate their status as one of the state's top prospects. Participants participated in a showcase workout in the morning, followed by a doubleheader of games in the afternoon.

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 data. Today, we conclude our series of post-event coverage with our Pitching Data Dive, looking at leaders in metrics on the mound. For all other post-event content, click here.
