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.
OUTFIELDER - ARM VELOCITY
During the workout portion of Prep Baseball events, players will go thorugh a defensive position workout. Outfielders will make multiple throws to bases, showcasing their ability to catch, exchange and release. The evaluation includes carry, accuracy, and arm strength. The arm strength is measured with Stalker Radar Guns.
