SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - Players gathered at Mission College on Jan. 27 for the NorCal Preseason All-State. They went through a traditional scout-style workout with running, jumping, fielding, and hitting portions. Pitchers threw bullpens monitored by TrackMan. All participants in the event had data collected by Prep Baseball's technology partners: TrackMan, Swift Technologies, and Blast. This data can be used to assess strengths and weaknesses in a player's game to highlight areas for improvement.

The classic measures of fielding proficiency outside of player footwork and technique are velocity, explosiveness, and pop times (for catchers). This is measured by our staff with the Stalker Sport II.
