LA MIRADA, CALIF. - The annual SoCal Upperclass Games blew into Biola University and brought with it some top uncommitted talent from around the region. The event featured a showcase followed by a 12 inning simulated game in which pitchers threw to five batters per inning. With several ranked players in the 2022 and 2023 classes, the SoCal Upperclass Games featured some quality fall baseball with arms leading the way. 

In the coming days/weeks we will continue to roll out more detailed content but today we wanted to roll pitching velo and spin leader for each statistical category as registered on Trackman.
