2023 BC New Year Open: TrackMan Analytics - Pitching Leaderboard
February 22, 2023
We would like to thank all who participated in PBR BC's New Year Open. This was a great opportunity for players to get in front of our staff before teams begin heading outdoors for live-game action and preseason tournaments. The event, and all open events, serve as identifiers for PBR Canada Selects rosters that attend national and regional PBR events such as the Future and Jr. Future Games, West Coast Games and our Best of the West team.
Many players impressed during their individual workouts at the showcase. Below we have the complete advanced metrics leaderboards from the bullpen session at the event.
