Prep Baseball Report

Rising Stars of Southern Nevada: Stat Leaderboard


Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

The Rising Stars events have become our way of introducing the next classes entering their prep careers to the Prep Baseball Report family. With events set for both Southern and Northern Nevada that will allow players to get their PBR Player Profiles started with the objective data retrieved. From the Rising Stars events, we will be identifying to top players from each event to combine into Team Nevada to represent our state against the rest of the country at the 2022 Junior Future Games in Emerson, Georgia at our state-of-the-art LakePoint Facility. The Junior Future Games will run in conjunction with the Prep Baseball Report’s Future Games. The Future Games features the top Uncommitted High School players from across the Prep Baseball Report’s 40+ state coverage area. It is one of the most highly recruited events of the summer and attracts more than 300 college coaches from across the country each year.

The Rising Stars of Southern Nevada featured a talented roster of 65+ players in the 2026-2027 Classes from across Southern Nevada that proved the state of baseball in the Silver State is in good hands for years to come. At the event, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60 Times measured by Swift Syncro, Batting Practice measured by TrackMan, Catch Pop Time and Velocity, Outfield Evaluation and Velocity, Infield Evaluation and Velocity and Pitcher Bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.

Today, we highlight the standout statistical performances from the Rising Stars of Southern Nevada with the Stat Leaderboard.
