2024 Year in Review: Fastball Velocity
December 4, 2024
2024 was the first full-year that Prep Baseball Hawaii operated and it was a monumental year as we hosted over 300 players at showcases within Hawaii. Beyond the in-state events, our staff was able to select top uncommitted players in the State to attend national events such as the Future Games, Senior Future Games, Junior Future Games and West Coast Games.
All of these showcases and national events allowed our Prep Baseball Hawaii staff to collect metrics and data on each of these players, giving ourselves and evaluators a little more insight on what each prospect brings to the table. With all of those metrics, our staff will begin to break down some of the top metrics collected through our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance and Vizual Edge.
Today, we will continue our 2024 Year in Review as we take a look at the top 15 Fastball Velocities collected (via TrackMan) in each of the 2025 - 2027 classes, followed by plenty more of these leaderboards over the next several weeks.
