US Nationals & Affiliates (Kansas City) Scout Day: Stat Story


By: Diego Solares
Central Region Media Director, Scouting

This winter, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff ran a three part scout day with the US Nationals & Affiliates travel program. The first leg took place in Ozark, MO, on January 21st, while the final two were on February 24th in Kansas City and St. Louis, respectively. More than 100 players from the US Nationals & Affiliate organizations participated in their respective events, gathering unrivaled measurables through our tech partners.

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've already broken down several of the day's standouts and stat leaders from the Springfield event in late January, and you can find those stories by clicking HERE. Earlier today, we highlighted some of the stat standouts from the St. Louis' area event, which you can find HERE.

Now, we'll turn our attention to this past weekend's US Nationals & Affiliates event in Kansas City, and you'll find the stat standouts from that showcase below.
