On Tuesday, June 4th, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff traveled to Creekside Baseball Park in, Parkville, MO to host the Royals Scout Team Scout Day. This event featured Royals Scout Team 2025-2027 players.
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.
