Northwest Arkansas Preseason ID: Pitcher's Data Dive


Arkansas Staff

Prep Baseball Arkansas continues the Preseason circuit across the Natural State with a stop at the Strike Zone Training Academy in Rogers for the Northwest Arkansas Preseason ID.  The event featured talent from the 2025, 2026, and 2027 classes and took part in a pro-style workout that featured BP sessions with Trackman and Blast Motion data, defensive evaluations with radar gun readings and pop times, laser-timed 30's with Swift, and finished off with bullpens and the Trackman data on ball flight.  Today we dive a little deeper into the top pitching metrics with data captured by Trackman during the bullpens.
