February 10, 2020
The Arizona High School baseball season is officially beginning with tryouts starting today. Prep Baseball Report wrapped up their preseason events this past Sunday at Desert Ridge High School in Mesa, AZ with their Preseason ID event. This identification event featured over 45 prospects from the 2020-2024 grad classes from all across the state of Arizona. This event will play a key role for PBR in identifying some top prospects from the area to use for future invites and our coverage during the high school baseball season. PBR will be out a games all spring long highlighting players, teams, writing scouting reports, positing videos and covering quality games. Be on the lookout for our continued coverage over the next several months.
Today, we begin our post event coverage from our latest Preseason ID by taking a look at the top five performers at each statistical category. Be sure to stay tuned over the next few weeks for more post-event coverage from our last event until the HS season concludes.
