PBR California Staff

New Episode LIVE now! At The Yard Podcast

WILDOMAR, CALIF. - The SoCal Upperclass Preseason All-State took place last weekend at Elsinore HS. The fourth annual event drew many of the top players in the 2023 and 2024 classes with over 20 players ranked in the Top 50 of their respective classes.  

Players were put through the traditional pro-style workout that included the 60-yard dash, BP, and a defensive workout. Players were then split into two teams and played a simulated “scout ball” formatted game in which pitchers faced no more than five hitters in their one inning of work. 

With so many talented players on hand it was a great day of baseball. In the coming days we’ll begin to roll out statistical leaders, categorical leaders, scouting reports, and much more. Until then we’ll take a look at the showcase categorical stats leaders.

Prep Baseball Report events across the country have been powered by TrackMan’s industry-leading portable system to capture pinpoint accurate, actionable data from player performances. Prep Baseball Report and TrackMan are dedicated to recognizing talent and unleashing their potential.

At the event all pitches were monitored through the portable Trackman B1 unit. Each player threw their complete arsenal of pitches allowing us to collect metrics such as release velocity, spin rate, vertical & horizontal movement and much more.

This data goes directly into the player profiles allowing the PBR Staff, college coaches and professional scouts alike to evaluate and compare prospects on a national scale.
