Northern Washington PSID - Pitching Data Dive
February 14, 2025
On Saturday February 8th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Northern Washington Preseason ID at Base By Pros in Skagit Valley, WA. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2025-2029 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.
Preseason ID events serve as an identifier heading into the spring high school season, providing Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters a list of prospects to follow as they plan their spring coverage. We also tend to see prospects’ best performances in the preseason, as most athletes are fresh and coming off of strict and targeted off-season training programs that have resulted in big gains. Standout performances can lead to invitations to some of the summer's biggest invite-only events, including the Pacific Northwest State Games, Prep Baseball Future Games, and more.
Earlier, we released our Quick Hits, detailing standout performers from the showcase, our Statistical Analysis, where we highlight leaders in major stat categories, and our Positional Data Dive, taking a deeper look at leaders in position player data. We finish our week of post-event content with our Pitching Data Dive, unveiling leaders in pitching data categories. For complete event content, click here.
