Prospect U Scout Day - Pitching Data Dive
December 5, 2024
On Saturday, November 30th, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Prospect U Scout Day at Big League Edge in Kent, Washington. Prep Baseball scouts saw high school aged athletes in the 2025-2028 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.
Scout Day events serve a variety of purposes in the baseball showcase landscape. Scout Days offer Prep Baseball staff first looks at underclassman and repeat looks at juniors and seniors, helping shape follow lists for high school coverage in the spring. Top performances can also lend invites to some of 2025's top events, such as Preseason All-State, PNW State Games, and more. Athletes in attendance can obtain video from the event to send to college recruiters, and have statisitcal data recorded by Prep Baseball's state of the art technology partners. Scout Day looks also help shape Washington State Player Rankings, updated multiple times each year.
Earlier, Prep Baseball released our Statistical Analysis, showcasing leaders in major statistical categories, and our Positional Data Dive, focusing on leaders in positional data. Today, we release our Pitching Data Dive, looking at leaders in various pitching metrics. For complete event statistics, click here.
