BIWBA Scout Day: Statistical Analysis
December 4, 2023
On Monday, November 27th, Prep Baseball Hawaii staff was on-hand in Nevada for another Scout Day with the Big Island Wood Bat Academy as we hosted the BIWBA Scout Day at the College of Southern Nevada in Henderson, Nevada.
This event featured 32 players from the program in the 2024-2029 classes, with a few players from Nevada and California. BIWBA Scout Day allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion and Swift Performance.
Today we'll start our deep dive into the data collected at this event within this Statistical Analysis story as we take a look at the top TrackMan, Blast Motion and Swift Performance data, as well as positional metrics.
