2026 Kansas Fall ID: Hitter's Data Dive
October 6, 2026
On Sunday, October 4th, the Prep Baseball Kansas staff hosted the Kansas Fall ID at Tointon Family Stadium on the campus of Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS. This year’s event hosted 17 prospects who participated in the showcase, and we'll begin highlighting the top performers among them.
Earlier this week, we assembled leaderboards of the more traditional stat categories inside Tuesday's Statistical Leaderboards, which you can view here.
Today, we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data that we collected at the event with the help of our partners at VALD Performance, TrackMan, Blast Motion, and Vizual Edge, using the valuable state-of-the-art technologies that they provide at Prep Baseball showcases.
Here’s a look at the position players who recorded some of the most impressive metrics across these many categories.
