On August 15th and 16th, Prep Baseball PNW was in attendance for the 2024 NW Scout Games, held by the Pacific Northwest Professional Baseball Scouts Association. This pro-style workout followed by two days of gameplay boasted some of the top high school baseball talent the area has to offer. This year, the Scout Games were hosted at Joe Etzel Field, home of the University of Portland Pilots baseball program. The Scout Games are a major yearly end of summer event, and are attended by a majority of major league team's area scouts and high profile Division 1 recruiters.

This Scout Blog features scouting notes from both the workout and in-game portions of the event from standout players, listed below. For a complete roster and other information from the event, click here.

PNW Scout Games

Pitchers

'26 WA RHP Eli Herst (Seattle Academy/Uncommitted)
The top ranked '26 prospect in Washington State, Herst started day one of the Scout Games strongly, breezing through his three innings of work. Mixed in FB/SL/CH combination throughout with an occasional sinker as well. FB sat 87-89 with plenty of room for more strength and velocity. Gets down the mound with exceptionally long, lean 6'4 190 pound frame. Smooth, controlled finish with tucked gloveside follow. Clear mound prescence and an aura of confidence. Continues to develop, will be an exciting follow moving forward.
