North Alabama Fall ID: Pitcher Reports
November 6, 2024
MADISON, AL - The North Alabama Fall ID was held on Sunday, October 27th at James Clemens High School in Madison, AL. This event was an open event hosting some talented prospects from the 2025-2029 classes in Alabama. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw during a gameplay and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement during simulated bullpens. 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 this week.
Today we wrap up our coverage of the event by taking a look at all of the pitchers that threw a simulated bullpen at the October 27 event.
