2023 Summer Review: Data Dive, Position Players
August 8, 2023
With the summer of 2023 in the books for PBR Alabama, our staff decided to reflect and dive deeper into each event we hosted over the course of the three months. This included taking a look at the top statistical performers from each showcase and scout day and compiling each category into one whole list. As you will see in the lists below, there were definitely some noteworthy performances that players turned in during the pro-style workouts.
Yesterday, we released our statistical leaderboards for the entire summer showcase circuit in 2023. Today, we take a deeper dive into the advanced analytics for all positional players. Keep an eye out for more leaderboards to be released in the coming days on our social media accounts.

The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.
The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
