Seattle Preseason ID Session II - Quick Hits

March 4, 2025
Dylan Grenz
Associate Scout

On Saturday March 1st, Prep Baseball Washington hosted the Seattle Preseason ID - Session II at EL1 Training Center in Puyallup, Washington. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated high school athletes in the 2025-2028 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.

Today, Prep Baseball releases our Quick Hits, detailing scouting notes on standout players from the event. Players are listed alphabetically by last name. For all other post-event content, click here.

Flatter barrel path stays on plane and in the zone for extended period of time. Growing arm strength and defensive actions, peaked with an 86 MPH throw from the infield and a 79 MPH throw resulting in a 2.00 second catcher pop time. High-level player, top-10 ranked sophomore in the state. 

'28 1B Greg Johnson (Puyallup)
Junior Future Games alum had a great showing, including one of the best BP performances of the day. 6'2, 225 pound frame moves and rotates well at the plate. Balance in base throughout with leverage created at contact. Carries quick bat through the zone, with a max bat speed of 80.0 MPH. Second at the event with a 97.7 MPH max exit velocity and first at the event with an average EV of 91.4 MPH. Big power bat in class. 

'26 RHP/INF Connor Mayer (Liberty)
Junior showed some real upside on the mound. 6'3 frame winds with steady intent. Abbreviated follow through with upright posture in finish. FB sat 82-85 MPH and played to the bottom of the zone.

CB showed developing shape with spin rates north of 2300 RPM, sitting 73-75 MPH. CH rounded out arsenal. Righty already logged 46 varsity innings as a freshman last spring and could be in for an even bigger role this season.
