HAYWARD, CALIF. - Our Preseason ID series concluded on Sunday 2/5/23, on the campus of Chabot College in the East Bay city of Hayward. Over the winter we made stops all over Northern California, bringing PBR to the players in their home regions.

In seeing nearly 150 players at the preseason events, we've seen players who will be receiving invitations to exclusive PBR events such as Future Games, West Coast Games, and California State Games. We've seen players who came out to get their numbers/stats updated, reflecting their growth, development, and hard work. Some of those players will rise in their class ranking. We've also come across players we've not previously seen before. It's been a very productive preseason schedule.

At the ID events and open events the players compete in a traditional showcase workout, including the 60-yard dash (w/10 & 30-yard splits), hitting session, and a defensive session. We have also added an athletic testing station, utilizing Swift Performance EzeJump. The pitchers throw a pen session, ranging from 15-20 pitches.

As February rolls along we he will have posts reflecting leaders via technology from out tech partners TrackMan, Blast, and Swift Performance. Today it's the traditional run, throw, and hit stats.

(Note: All showcase videos will be added to profiles in the coming week or so)
