Boise Rising Stars ID: Blast Motion Leaders
May 16, 2023
On Sunday, May 7th, PBR Idaho hosted its second Rising Stars event of the year at Capital High School in Boise, Idaho. Rising Stars events are specifically for the 2027 and 2028 classes and give our staff a look younger prospects in the State before they head to the high school level.
The event featured roughly 25 players from the Boise and surrounding areas with a healthy mix of players from both the 2027 and 2028 classes. This event was our second and final of two Rising Stars showcases this spring in Idaho as our staff continues to evaluate and get a look at the next crop of talent coming through the State.
At this event, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60 Times and running splits measured by Swift Performance, Batting Practice measured by TrackMan and Blast Motion, Catch Pop Time and Velocity, Outfield Evaluation and Velocity, Infield Evaluation and Velocity and Pitcher Bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.
Below, we conclude our post-event coverage with a look at the top Blast Motion metrics collected at the event.
