LakePoint Summer Open: Pitcher Reports


PBR Georgia
Staff

Emerson GA - On May 31st we hosted the LakePoint Summer Open to kick off showcase season for PBR Georgia. The event consisted of 2026-2023 grads. The players went through a pro-style working, and took batting practice with Blast motion and Trackman metrics. Pitchers were able to throw a bullpen and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. 

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all pitchers from the 31st. Keep checking back over the next few days as we will continue to release scouting reports on the pitchers from the event.
