2023 Louisiana Rewind: Average Exit Velocity
December 15, 2023
As we begin to wrap up 2023 and gear up for the new year, our Louisiana staff has decided to compile all of the numbers and data from our event schedule this year, to compile a series of leaderboards. All of the data for the following leaderboards below were captured by one of our partners, Trackman Baseball, at one of our PBR Louisiana events. Our event schedule included our Preseason ID's, Rising Stars ID's, Summer Open events, Fall ID's, and our invite-only events, such as the Top Prospect Games, Louisiana State Games, and the Future Games. Today, we take a look at the top average exit velocities from 2023.
