Alabama Fall Prospect Games: Positional Player Reports


PBR Alabama Staff

The Alabama Fall Prospect Games were held Sunday, October 24th at the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, AL. This event consisted of players ranging from the classes of 2022-2025. These players went through an extended pro-style workout, took batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion sensors. Pitchers were able to throw against hitters in simulated gameplay, and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit. 

We continue our post-event coverage today by taking a look at all of the position players that were present at the event.  

Check back tomorrow as we will wrap up our post-event coverage by taking a look at all of the pitchers that attended the event. Some of the positional players mentioned today will also be featured in tomorrow's article if they pitched during gameplay.
