Las Vegas Preseason ID (Session 1) - Pitcher Scouting Reports
January 30, 2025
On Tuesday, January 21st, the Prep Baseball Nevada staff hosted it's first showcase of the 2025 season with the Las Vegas Preseason ID (Session 1) hosted on the campus of the University of Nevada - Las Vegas at Earl E. Wilson Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The roster featured only uncommitted prospects a strong crop of underclassmen, as well as several unsigned senior names for college coaches to jump on. The sold out event featured 44 prospects in the Las Vegas area and it was a great showing to kick of the year in the State of Nevada.
The event included players in the 2025 - 2028 classes with all players running through a full workout alongside our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance and Physical/Athletic Testing. Preseason ID showcases allow players a chance to showcase their offseason gains ahead of the high school season, while also giving their profiles a complete revamp. Attending Preseason ID showcases also makes players eligible for marquee Prep Baseball events such as the Future Games, Senior Future Games, Junior Future Games, West Coast Games and the Nevada State Games.
Earlier this week we began our post-event coverage within our Quick Hits, Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. Today, we'll conclude our post-event coverage within this Positional Data Dive article as we bring you the top TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance, Vizual Edge and Grip Strength collected at the event among positional prospects.
