On Sunday, December 15th the Prep Baseball British Columbia staff hosted it's only Holiday Hitters of the year with the Holiday Hitters Showcase - North Vancouver at Inside Performance in North Vancouver, British Columbia. This event featured 40+ prospects from the Vancouver area within the 2025 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an up-close look at the prospects, as well as collect updates hitting metrics and data for player profiles before the year comes to a close.

Holiday Hitters always serve as our final showcases of the year, allowing players one final chance to update their profiles with headshots, video and hitting data before the year concludes. It also gives us a sneak peak at some hitters who are eligible for the Best of the West Tournament, Future Games, Jr. Futures Games, West Coast Games and more (although it does not serve as a qualifier).

Today, we will begin our post-event coverage within this TrackMan Hitting Data article as we take a look at the top hitting metrics collected throughout the event.
