Alabama All-State Games: Infielder Reports


PBR Alabama Staff

TROY, AL - The Alabama All-State Games was held on Tuesday, July 11th at Riddle Pace Field at Troy University in Troy, AL. This event was an invite-only event that consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2027 classes. These players went through a pro-style workout and took batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion to record hitting metrics. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated outings facing hitters during gameplay 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 Tuesday.

Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all of the infielders that were present at the event. Check back tomorrow as we wrap up our post event content by taking a look at all of the pitchers from the event.
