Red Deer Preseason ID: Hitting Data Dive
February 28, 2024
On Saturday, February 24th the Prep Baseball Alberta staff hosted it's first showcase of the season with the Red Deer Preseason ID at The Red Deer Dome in Red Deer, Alberta. This event featured over 17 players from the across the province in the 2024 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partner TrackMan.
The event also serves as an identifier and qualifier for our Select Series Events such as Future Games (2026), Jr. Future Games (2028/2029), Senior Future Games (2025), West Coast Games (2025/2026) and Best of the West (18U & 15U).
Earlier this week we began our post-event coverage within our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Today we'll conclude our post-event leaderboards within this article as we take a look at the top hitting metrics, captured by TrackMan, from the Preseason ID in Red Deer.
