On Saturday February 22nd, Prep Baseball PNW hosted the Pacific Northwest Preseason ID at The Hub Sports Complex in Centralia, WA. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated WA and OR high school athletes in the 2025-2029 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 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 post-event content with our Pitching Data Dive, looking at leaders in pitching metrics from the event. For all other post-event content, click here.
