On Sunday, October 4th, the Prep Baseball Kansas staff will travel to Tointon Family Stadium on the campus of Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS, to host the Kansas Fall ID. This event, in its third year, is open to 2027-to-2030 graduates, with 15+ prospects already set to attend.
All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Kansas City Top Prospect Games, Super Sophomore Games, Super Senior Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.
