Pacific Northwest Summer ID - Quick Hits

May 26, 2025
Dylan Grenz
Associate Scout

On Sunday May 25th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Pacific Northwest Summer ID at Ridgefield Recreation Complex in Ridgefield, Washington. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2026-2028 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.

Summer ID 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 2025 Pacific Northwest State Games.

Today, Prep Baseball releases our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout players from the event. Players are listed alphabetically by last name. For all other post-event content, click here.
