Preseason ID - Additional Position (Optional)

WHAT IS A PRESEASON ID EVENT?

The Preseason ID series is unique in several ways. Whether you are an Uncommitted Senior in your final year of high school or an Underclass player trying to put yourself on the recruiting map; this event has everything a high school player with the goal of playing baseball in college needs.

It serves as an identifier heading towards the season, giving our scouts as well as college recruiters, a list of prospects to follow as they plan their upcoming coverage. We also tend to see prospects’ best performances in the Preseason, as most athletes are fresh and coming off of strict and targeted off-season training programs that have resulted in big gains, primed for updating their Prep Baseball profile. All of which lends the perfect opportunity to secure invitations to upcoming invite-only events such as the Prep Baseball Future Games, Prep Baseball Super Sophomore Games, NE State Games and more. 

Our staff strategically hosts Preseason I.D. events throughout the state in search of players who have taken advantage of the offseason, identifying new prospects to add to our follow lists or players our staff is already familiar with who are on the rise.

All player information including tech metrics, stats, videos, scouting reports and more will be hosted to the Prep Baseball website, bolstering the player profile, which is subscribed to by more than 900 colleges across the country.

SCOUTING, TECHNOLOGY AND DATA ANALYSIS IN ONE EVENT

PREP BASEBALL PROFILE

Every prospect's recruiting process starts and ends with the Prep Baseball Profile and our showcases revolve around that player profile. For first time attendees, a new Prep Baseball profile will be created, hosting all of your information, videos, head shot, metrics and more, making it one of your single most important tools in the recruiting process. Repeat showcase performances will continue to update your Prep Baseball profile, creating a history of prospect progress and ensuring the most up-to-date information is easily accessible throughout the fast-paced scouting community. These profiles are also searchable by a range of data points and metrics through our advanced search engine, making it a one stop shop for recruiters and scouts.

MIZUNO

All showcase prospects will receive a numbered Prep Baseball Jersey & Hat sponsored by our partners at Mizuno. The Mizuno Tee is the all around tee shirt for every activity, made from lightweight textured fabric, and used to identify prospects throughout the showcase process.

STATS

Prep Baseball stats are the industry standard in the scouting community, carrying the highest credibility in actionable data. Prep Baseball profiles are the most reliable resources for prospect information due to this reason alone. Stats are collected using only the highest of standard equipment including Brower laser timers, Trackman and Stalker radars. All stats are hosted in player profiles accompanied by recently launched Performance Tiers that show where a prospect ranks among his peers.

VIDEO

All prospect performances will be professionally video taped, edited and uploaded into their Prep Baseball Profile. Videos will consist of multiple angles and record all aspects of the showcase including 60's, live batting practice, and defensive performances. Videos are hosted in Prep Baseball Profiles and used for video spotlights, content, social media and more. Videos are accessible to all PrepBaseball+ subscribers.

POST-EVENT CONTENT

One of the many results of a Prep Baseball showcase is getting all the information collected to the public in a timely and digestible manner. Every showcase will be featured on the Prep Baseball website and social channels through various forms of post-event content, leaderboards, video spotlights and more.

ACCOUNT DASHBOARD

In an effort to elevate the post-event experience for players who attend a Prep Baseball Showcase, the Account Dashboard is now your one stop shop to view all of your post-event deliverables, including your Video, Statistics, and more.
