Back in November, Area Code Baseball and Prep Baseball Report joined forces to offer more athletes an opportunity to learn, compete and showcase their abilities through the Area Code ID Series. The platform was built in part to help fill the void in the recruiting and evaluation process that was created by the COVID-19 pandemic, while offering athletes the unique opportunity to learn what it takes to play at the next level directly from professional scouts. The Area Code ID Series, powered by Prep Baseball Report, will be the first step on the journey to competing in baseball’s premier summer showcase, the Area Code Baseball Games. Select participants from the ID Series will be invited to compete at Area Code Tryouts in the summer of 2021.

"Joining forces with Prep Baseball Report allows us to utilize the strengths of both organizations to provide an athlete-first experience that is truly one of a kind. Our shared vision to offer more opportunities for athletes to achieve their dreams while improving their game will be the cornerstone of this new platform and we couldn't be more excited to get started." - Zack Greer, GM, Area Code Baseball.

The event curriculum was designed to allow athletes the opportunity to put their talents on display and to find areas to improve their game through real time feedback and instruction from the pro scouts in attendance. Athletes participated in position specific curriculum with position players taking part in a pro-style workout & pitchers throwing bullpens. In addition to receiving feedback from the MLB scouts on hand, swing & pitch analysis will be captured by our partners, Blast Motion & Trackman, and shared with the more than 900 colleges and scouts who currently subscribe to Prep Baseball Report.

We had a chance to kick off the Area Code ID Series on Saturday, January 23rd at Arcadia High School in Phoenix, Arizona. Today, we will be taking a look at the top statistical performances from the event in seven different categories:
