Oahu, HI – The Oahu Open ID was held on October 21, 2026 at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. The showcase brought together a talented group of players from the 2027–2031 classes, each looking to establish an early evaluation heading into the fall season.
Participants took part in a pro-style workout that included batting practice tracked by TrackMan and Blast Motion, 60-yard dash testing powered by VALD Performance, and a full defensive evaluation. Pitchers threw bullpens tracked by TrackMan, allowing our staff to capture detailed metrics including pitch velocity, spin rate, and horizontal and vertical movement.
