Portland Summer ID - Pitching Data Dive
June 11, 2024
On Wednesday, June 5th, Prep Baseball staff hosted the Portland Summer ID. Held at Milwaukie High School and featuring prospects in the 2025-2027 classes, players from Washington and Oregon participated in this pro-style workout. The event included unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art technology partners and in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball staff.
Summer ID events serve as an important tool for both PBR scouts and college recruiters, who will subsequently create lists of prospects to follow as they plan their remaining summer coverage. We often tend to see prospects' best showings in summer ID events, as players are fresh off playing for their respective high schools and are in the routine that consistently playing in-game offers. Standout performances can lend invites to some of the summer's top events, including the PBR Pacific Northwest State Games.
Earlier this week, we published our Statistical Analysis, where we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories, and our Positional Data Dive, where we unpacked the more complex positional player data. Today, we will take a further in-depth look at the pitching data, collected via Trackman. All listed stats are also recorded and made available on individual player profiles.

Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement. With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.
