Kansas City Preseason ID: Data Dive


By: Eliott Wilk
Midwest Operations Director

On Sunday, February 18th, the PBR Kansas staff traveled to Natural Baseball Academy in Olathe, KS, to host the first annual Kansas City Preseason ID. This event was open to all 2024-to-2027 prospects with 40+ names in attendance.

All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.

Earlier in the week, our staff rolled out the day’s statistical standouts in leaderboard format within our ‘Stat Story’, which you can find HERE. Then, we spotlighted several of the day's standout prospects within our typical 'Quick Hits', which you can find HERE.

We'll wrap up our coverage from this event today within this 'Data Dive'. Continue reading below to see which players in attendance showed well from a batted ball and pitch metric perspective.
