Canyon Thunder Scout Day: TrackMan Files (Pitching)
September 28, 2022
Our fall showcase schedule continued on Tuesday as we closed out the Canyon Thunder Scout Day at Grand Canyon University with total arms from across the organization.
Last Tuesday we had all the position players at GCU for a pro-style workout and yesterday saw the 20 arms step on the mound for a bullpen while utilizing our state-of-the-art tech partners in TrackMan and ProPlayAI.
Below, we run through the data from the arms and list the top performers on each metric.
