On Sunday, January 29th, PBR Colorado hosted its first showcase of the 2023 season, the PBR Colorado Scout Day, at Hit Dingers Baseball Academy in Arvada, Colorado. The event featured 18 players from the 2023-2026 classes and was the final showcase ahead of our trio of Preseason ID events, beginning next week in Superior, Colorado for the Northern Colorado Preseason ID.
All players ran through our series of our tech partners including TrackMan and Blast Motion for batting practice, as well as Swift Performance athletic testing. Below, we continue to break down all the data from the event with a look at the top TrackMan metrics from batting practice in the showcase.
