On Saturday February 21st, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Seattle Preseason ID - Session II at Mariners Training Center in Puyallup. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2026-2030 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.

Preseason ID events serve as an identifier heading into the spring high school season, providing Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters a list of prospects to follow as they plan their spring coverage. We also tend to see prospects’ best performances in the preseason, as most athletes are fresh and coming off of strict and targeted off-season training programs that have resulted in big gains. Standout performances can lead to invitations to some of the summer's biggest invite-only events, including the Pacific Northwest State Games, Prep Baseball Future Games, and more.

Earlier, we released 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 series of post-event content with our Pitching Data Dive, looking at leaders in stats on the mound.  For all other post-event content, click here.
