2022 Rewind: Top Exit Velocities
December 2, 2022
As we are beginning to wrap up the year of 2022 and gear up for the 2023 Preseason, our PBR Alabama Staff has decided to gather all the numbers and data from our event schedule in 2022. With this being our first leaderboard from the year, we will break all of our numbers down and compile them into leaderboards for all statistical categories.
All of the data for the following exit velocity leaderboard comes from our TrackMan unit and is based on the information gathered from PBR Alabama events such as, Preseason ID's, Preseason All-State, Rising Stars, PBR Future Games, summer open events, Invite-Only events and our Scout Days.
Kicking off our rewind of our 2022 leaderboards, we are taking a look at the top-25 exit velocities from 2022.
WHAT IS EXIT VELOCITY?
Exit Speed: Also according to TrackMan’s own website: “The speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.”
