Bootheel Preseason ID Stat Story


Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS Assistant Scouting Director

PBR Missouri traveled down to the southeast corner of the state to the Bootheel and hosted the Bootheel Preseason ID featuring many of the top players from the 2022 class to the 2025's.  The event featured 10 guys to run down the line to first in under 4.3 seconds as well as three infielders to top 80+ mph, 2 outfielders that were 84+mph and one with a 90 mph reading.  The event was loaded with good hand strength with the bats with 13- 85+ mph exit velocities with 8 players reaching 90+ and 1 climbing up to 101 mph.  5 arms reached 80+ mph from the mound and multiple guys showing solid spin on their breaking balls.  The Bootheel region continues to pump out consistent talent as seen at this event.  You can access all the stats and info from the Bootheel Preseason ID by clicking here.
