Pacific Northwest Summer Review - Pitching Data Dive


Dylan Grenz
Associate Scout

On Tuesday August 5th, Prep Baseball PNW hosted the Pacific Northwest Summer Review at Ridgefield Recreation Complex in Ridgefield, Washington. Prep Baseball scouts evaluated WA/OR high school athletes in the 2026-2029 graduating classes, with several strong showings throughout the event.

Prep Baseball events serve as an important tool for both Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters, who will subsequently create lists of prospects to follow as they plan their scouting coverage throughout the year. We often tend to see prospects' best showings at Summer events, as players are fresh off playing for their respective high schools and are in the routine that consistently playing in-game offers. Standout performances can lend invites to some of the year's top events, including the Pacific Northwest State Games and Pacific Northwest Preseason All-State.

Earlier, we released our Statistical Analysis, looking at leaders in major stat categories, and our Positional Data Dive, focusing specifically on leaders in position player data. Today, we unveil our Pitching Data Dive, looking at leaders in pitching metrics in Ridgefield. For all other post-event content, click here
