2024 PNW Senior Games - Pitching Data Dive
October 15, 2024
On Saturday October 12th, Prep Baseball staff hosted the PNW Senior Games at Ridgefield Sports Complex in Ridgefield, WA. Featuring uncommitted 2025 prospects, players from across Washington and Oregon participated in this event. The PNW Senior Games included unrivaled access to data through our state-of-the-art technology partners and in-depth scouting analysis from our Prep Baseball staff. Prospects were put through a showcase-style workout followed by gameplay in the afternoon.
The 2024 PNW Senior Games event serves as an important showing for both Prep Baseball scouts and college recruiters. Prep Baseball scouts use these looks at prospects to help form state rankings lists, generate scouting reports, and to highlight standout performers via articles or social media posts. College recruiters may also use events such as the Senior Games to find players for their roster or to create follow lists for the subsequent season. Prep Baseball events offer unrivaled exposure via data, metrics, and video technology.
Earlier, we released our Quick Hits, where we shared scouting notes on standout performers, our Statistical Analysis, where we unveiled leaderboards in the traditional statistical categories, and our Positional Data Dive, where we highlighted leaders in position player statistics. Today, we conclude our PNW Senior Games release with our Pitching Data Dive, revealing leaders in pitching statistical categories.
