Top Tier Las Vegas at the Prep Baseball Report Preseason ID

Last month, several Top Tier Las Vegas players attended the Prep Baseball Report Nevada Preseason ID at UNLV in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Top Tier Las Vegas 2026 OF/RHP Kayne Horibe was a standout performer at the event, putting himself on the map in the Las Vegas baseball scene with a performance that included 94 mph max exit velocity and 87.3 mph average exit velocity at the plate and an event-best 87 mph outfield velocity.

Horibe was named Session II's Top Outfielder by PBR Nevada Director Brett Harrison. Here's what Harrison had to say about Horibe after the event:

"The 2026 out of Pahrump Valley made his presence known early at the Las Vegas Preseason ID with his 94.3 mph TrackMan Exit Velocity along with his 87.3 mph Average Exit Velocity that proved he could find the barrel consistently. Defensively, his controlled, but aggressive, routes to and through the ball helped him get on line to his target that helped him register a share of the Top Outfield Velocities of 87 mph. The two-sport athlete was a relative unknown heading into the event, and the Prep Baseball Nevada staff has definitely taken notice of the small school product."

However, Horibe wasn't the only Top Tier Las Vegas player to attend the event. Here's a recap of the Top Tier Baseball talent and their scouting reports from the PBR Nevada staff.
