November 21, 2024
With the year of 2024 in the books for Prep Baseball Alabama, our staff decided to reflect and dive deeper into each event we hosted over the course of the last 12 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.
Over the course of the next couple of weeks, we will release each statistical category from our 2024 event schedule. Today, we take a look at the top outfield velocities from 2024.
