PNW Preseason All-State - Pitching Data Dive

On Monday February 17th, Prep Baseball PNW hosted Pacific Northwest Preseason All-State at The Hub Indoor Sports Complex in Centralia, WA. The premier invite-only event of the preseason featured Washington and Oregon athletes in the 2025-2028 graduating classes, with several outstanding showings throughout the day.

Preseason All-State serves 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 2026 Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout 2026 graduates from the event, our Statistical Analysis, showcasing leaders in major statistical categories, and our Positional Data Dive, highlighting leaders in position player data. Today, we unveil our Pitching Data Dive, where we highlight leaders in pitching data metrics.
