On Friday, October 4th through Sunday, October 6th, top uncommitted 2025 prospects and select 2026 prospects will participate in the 2024 PBR West Coast Games. This three-day event held at three premier venues will consist of a pro-style workout on day one, followed by two days of gameplay over the weekend. 

Prep Baseball's West Coast Games serves as a premier event for uncommitted rising upperclassmen on the West Coast. The event will give an unparalleled opportunity to each player in attendance by delivering a “one-stop-shop” for college coaches to recruit. Beyond the on-looking eyes of scouts and coaches, Prep Baseball's unmatched coverage and commitment to elevating players via advanced metrics and technology (Trackman, Blast Motion and Vizual Edge), along with multiple social media platforms, will provide elite exposure for each player in attendance.

Today, we unveil our team preview, highlighting each player on Team PNW. Prospects are grouped by position, listed alphabetically by last name. Stay tuned on PBR social media channels the coming week for further West Coast Games content, including further game schedules, unveiling pitching rotations, and content from the event.
