Heart of America Summer ID: Data Dive
August 2, 2024
On Tuesday, July 9th, the Prep Baseball Kansas staff traveled to LaRoche Baseball Complex in Fort Scott, KS to host the Heart of America Summer ID. This event was open to 2025-2028 class members.
All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.
We'll wrap up our coverage from this event today within this 'Data Dive'. Continue reading below to see which players in attendance showed well from a batted ball, pitch metric, and swing analytics perspective.
