FULLERTON, CALIF. - Last weekend was the 6th annual edition of the California State Games the premier invite-only event in California, hosted at Fullerton College. This event brought together top players from the '25-'28 classes together in one location to conclude the summer schedule across California before the start of school and the fall events schedule.
The collection of talent that was on display in Orange County for the CA State Games was quite impressive. The weekend got started with a pro-style workout for all position players/two-way players in attendance. Players received athletic testing on the Swift platforms including 10-30-60 yard sprint times and RSI/Vertical Jump testing. Blast Motion sensors were in use for all batting practice swings to collect swing metric data while Trackman technologies provided the Prep Baseball California staff with batted ball data on each player throughout the batting practice portion. Additionally, players worked out at their positions during the defensive portion of the workout to collect arm strength velocities while evaluating actions of each player defensively. At the conclusion of the workout 8 teams organized by the Prep Baseball California staff would play two 8-inning simulated games (5 batters per inning) spanning 8 total games over the 3 day event to give our staff an extensive opportunity to continue to build their in-game evaluations of the players in attendance at the California State Games.
