2026 Seattle Summer Review - Quick Hits

August 6, 2026
Dylan Grenz
Assistant Scouting Director

On Tuesday August 4th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Seattle Summer Review at Island Crest Park in Mercer Island, WA. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2027-2030 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.

Summer events serve as an important tool for both Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters, who will subsequently create lists of prospects to follow as they plan their remaining summer coverage. We often tend to see prospects' best showings at Summer ID events, as players are fresh off playing for their respective high schools and are in the routine that consistently playing in-game offers. Standout performances can lend invites to some of the summer's top events, including the 2026 Pacific Northwest State Games.

Today, we release our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout players from the event. Prospects are listed alphabetically by last name. Stay tuned in the coming days for complete post-event coverage. For all other post-event content, click here.

Seattle Summer Review (8.4.26)

Quick Hits

'28 C Carson Boad (Tenino)
The raw strength and physicality lead the way here for the Tenino righthander, listed 6'2, 220 pounds. Boad generates plus bat speed with a flat path through the zone, clipping some balls with authority in his BP rounds. The rising junior led the event with a 99.4 MPH exit velocity. Despite some rawness in the swing and in the catch/throw, Boad has still managed a best pop time of 2.12 seconds this year, as well. Boad will be a name to keep an eye on as his game continues to develop.

'27 INF Leo Ciuca (Redmond)
Ciuca had a great in-game look this spring, collecting multiple hits at the top of Redmond's varsity lineup. The lefty bat built on this with arguably the best BP rounds of the day, lining balls to the pull side and lifting a few over the wall with relative ease. Ciuca maintains a tighter turn through the zone with a peak exit velocity of 97.9 MPH and an average of 92.7 MPH. Very few balls were hit under 90 MPH, a feat we don't see often. The 7.3 runner moves with some quickness on the dirt and looks the part of a middle infielder moving forward.

'27 RHP Kainoa Keith (Mount Si)
The lone pitcher-only at this particular event, Keith was another player coming off of a strong spring, earning All-League honors in his junior spring. The righthander featured a repeatable operation with a strong front side and land with a longer swing and 3/4 to high 3/4 slot release. The FB sat 82-84 MPH with some carry, and of his four pitch mix the CB looked to be the best, sitting in the low 70's with over 2500 RPM on average. He also features a shorter SL and CH, all four pitches filling the zone in this look. 

'29 RHP/1B Shawn Lefeber (Woodinville)
The young 6'1 prospect flashed at times on both sides of the baseball. On the mound, Lefeber lands with shorter extension and an upright posture towards his target, peaking at 79.5 MPH on the FB. The frame could easily allow for velocity jumps as he develops mechanically. At the plate, Lefeber peaked with a 94.4 MPH exit velocity, mostly hitting the ball hard on the ground but possessing some raw strength. With the right minor tweaks, Lefeber could be a player that makes gains in multiple facets heading into 2027.

'27 INF Andrew Mish (Bishop Blanchet)
Mish was a varsity regular at third base this spring, and it was clear to see why with this showcase look. The medium-framed righty moved well defensively with comfort going in either direction and throws up to 79 MPH. The swing played well to the pull side, peaking with a 93.1 MPH exit velocity and balls hit up to 362 feet. Intriguing uncommitted follow that could make an impact at the collegiate level.

'27 INF Judah Plant (Kennedy Catholic)
One of the big winners of the day, Plant carries enticing traits as a potential middle of the infield defender. The athleticism was apparent in his event-leading 6.93 60 yard dash, and the glove showed well with soft hands and quicker actions defensively. At the plate, Plant carries plenty of bat speed for the more compact frame, driving a heavier barrel through the zone with acceleration through contact and a two-handed finish. Plant peaked with a 98.3 MPH exit velocity and drove balls up to 342 feet. Athlete to circle.

'28 C/OF Grant Thompson (Mount Si)
Thompson showcased some quality strides across the board since his last showcase look this past fall. The defensive versatility stands out in the outfield and at catcher, where he had a best pop time of 2.17 seconds and top defensive velocity of 81 MPH. At the plate, Thompson sets in a more narrow base with weight over his rear knee, waterfalling into contact with a whippy, flatter path. He peaked with a 92.5 MPH exit velocity and 344 foot batted ball distance in this look.
