MOKAN Preseason All-State: Pitching Leaderboard


By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

On Sunday, February 12th, the PBR Missouri and PBR Kansas traveled to the Mac N Seitz facility in Kansas City, MO, to host the MOKAN Preseason All-State. This invite-only event, which is in its fourth year, hosted several of the most talented 2023-to-2026 graduates from across the two states. Players will participate in a pro-style workout in front of our scouts, gathering verified measurables as well as advanced data through the help of our tech partners.

To see a complete up-to-date roster of the players that attended this event, click HERE.

Shortly after the event’s conclusion, our staff posted a ‘Stat Story’ that highlighted some of the event’s stat leaders in our traditional categories, like the 60-yard dash, throwing velocities, and more. You can find that by clicking HERE.

We then compiled our notes and digested the day as a whole within our 'Quick Hits', where we highlighted over 30 names that impressed our staff. Those nuggets can be found HERE.

Earlier today our staff put together our 'Hitting Leaderboard' from this event, identifying several batted ball standouts with the help of our partners at TrackMan. We'll turn our attention back to the data now but on the pitching side instead, diving deeper into which arms spun the baseball at the highest rate at this event.
