2026 SUMMER REWIND
The summer of 2026 provided Prep Baseball scouts with an extensive look at players from across North Carolina, with evaluations coming from Scout Days, Summer IDs, Rising Stars events and some of Prep Baseball's premier state, regional and national events.
With the summer schedule now complete, Summer Rewind takes another look at the players who stood out throughout the summer. The series will feature a collection of stories highlighting top performers, standout tools and notable statistical performances tracked by Prep Baseball scouts throughout the Summer of 2026.
From events across North Carolina to the NC/SC Border Battle, Tobacco Road State Games, East Coast Super Sophomore Games, Future Games and Senior Future Games, players had opportunities to perform in front of Prep Baseball's scouting staff while producing verified data through the technology used at each event.
Combining those in-person evaluations with the advanced analytics collected throughout the summer, Summer Rewind will spotlight players and performances that made an impression during a busy 2026 summer.

Max Exit Velocity measures a player's raw strength at impact, offering a clear window into their peak power potential and overall barrel feel throughout their round. The Average Exit Velocity compiles all the swings recorded in one session, giving hitters their average, allowing evaluators a peak into the barrel consistency throughout the session.
