HARTSELLE, AL - The North AL Preseason All-State, one of the top events of the year, was held on Saturday, January 18th at Hartselle HS Indoor in Hartselle, AL. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of prospects from the 2025-2029 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 30-yard dash using VALD Performance due to weather, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Saturday.

Wrapping up our post-event coverage, we take a look at all of the pitchers that threw a bullpen at the event.
