October 15, 2025
As we conclude the Fall showcase season, Prep Baseball Washington begins a new series of State Games Spotlights. This series aims to highlight standout performers at our top invite-only 2025 PNW State Games event. These spotlights aim to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
Today, we spotlight '27 C/INF Keagan Soliza. The twitchy athlete out of Puyallup High School put together a well-rounded showing during both the workout and gameplay portions of the event.
Below is a complete breakdown of the player, featuring video and scouting reports from the summer.
