State Games Spotlight - '27 INF Noah Kwon
November 4, 2024
This winter, Prep Baseball Washington is reflecting upon their showcase circuit and highlighting standout performers. Today, Prep Baseball continues our State Games Spotlight series, specifically looking at players that participated in this year's Pacific Northwest State Games. These spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward at the summer's biggest event. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
Today, we spotlight 2027 INF Noah Kwon. The 8th ranked player in Washington's 2027 class is a high-end talent attending Lake Washington High School. Kwon is an alumni of the 2023 Prep Baseball Junior Future Games, and has continued to show his talent with a strong freshman campaign.
The middle infielder showcased his smooth all-around game at PNW State Games both in the workout and in-game portions of the event. Kwon ran a solid 7.06 second 60-yard dash time and showcased soft hands, natural fielding actions and accurate throws defensively. At the plate, the medium-framed righty flashed a flatter swing that played to all fields. Kwon will certainly be a player to follow over the next several years.
