On Wednesday, August 7th, the Prep Baseball Nevada staff hosted it's third event of the summer with the Las Vegas Summer ID at the College of Southern Nevada in Henderson, Nevada. This event featured roughly 22 players from the Las Vegas area in the 2025 - 2028 classes with all players running through a full workout alongside our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion and Swift Performance.

Summer ID's give players a chance to showcase their skills infront of our scouting staff before returning to school for the fall, as well as update their profiles with increased metrics as college recruiting continues to ramp up.

Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
