South Georgia Preseason I.D: Statistical analysis


Prep Baseball Georgia
Staff

Douglas, GA - The PBR Georgia Staff traveled to Coffee High School for the first of three Preseason I.D events. This event was an opportunity to see a talented group from south Georgia. We saw players from 2027-2025 grads. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw short bullpens with Trackman. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Saturday.

Today, we will begin the event analysis with a look at the traditional statistics collected at a showcase: 60 yard time, fastball velocity, exit velocity, arm strength, and pop times. In the coming days, we will take a deeper dive into the, TrackMan data, along with a closer look at some more position player data.
