Over the past 25 years, an average of 6.7 players have been taken out of the PNW in the top 5 rounds of the

. The most was 14 (1999) and the fewest was 3 (2008).
How many will hear their name called this year?
The San Francisco Giants are calling up outfielder Wade Meckler, sources tell ESPN. He started the year in High-A and this will be his fourth stop. He was an eighth-round pick in 2022 and is just the fourth player to make the big leagues, with the three others Los Angeles Angels.
Longtime Mets area scout Jim Reeves, who's retiring, threw out a ceremonial first pitch. Reeves has been the Mets' pacific northwest scout, responsible for about 2,000,000 square miles. He threw the pitch to David Peterson, one of many players he signed for New York.
Great year so far for Pacific Northwest

PNW area scout Dan Ramsay, who signed Corbin Carroll and Ryne Nelson in his first draft.
Probably because there are only 6 Area Code underclass teams as opposed to 8 for the
@ACBaseballGames
. We don’t understand why there aren’t more Oregon, Idaho, & Canadian kids on the team! 😂
I don't understand why there are Washington kids on the N CA Underclass area code team roster. Stupid. Northern CA NEVER NEEDS players from other areas to supplement it's roster.

And, of course, congratulations to the late Paul Kirsch. Paul signed Riley for
@RaysBaseball
as an 8th-round pick in the 2017 draft.
Welcome to The Show, Riley O'Brien!
The Reds will promote the righty on Tuesday to make his MLB debut on the mound against the White Sox in Chicago.
@MLBPipeline
ranks him as the No. 24 prospect in the Reds' farm system.
A first baseman, Paul played for the Ducks himself before going on to a 7-year professional playing career in the Cincinnati Reds' organization. After his playing days ended, he coached professionally for the Reds, Royals, Marlins, and Twins.
Blake Snell won his 2nd Cy Young award yesterday and somewhere upstairs Paul Kirsch has a smile on his face and is extremely proud. The Rays organization and the scouting world miss PK every day but this is another reminder he wasn’t just a special person but one helluva scout.
Updated Philadelphia Phillies roster/depth chart:
