And just like that, we wrap up an exciting first-ever Prep Baseball KC Early Bird Bash. Over the weekend, 48 teams battled it out across 9 divisions for the Early Bird Bash championship. While Saturday brought less-than-ideal weather, Championship Sunday graced us with sunny skies at Creekside and Homefield for a thrilling finish. As we reflect on the weekend, let's dive into the champions and my MVP picks for each team as we kick off the spring season.
