2023 Ontario New Year Open: TrackMan Analytics - Pitching Leaderboard


Cam Black-Araujo
Lead Scout, PBR Canada

We would like to thank all who participated in PBR Ontario's New Year Open. This was a great opportunity for players to get in front of our staff before teams begin heading to Florida in March for live action outdoors. The event, and all open events, serve as identifiers for PBR Canada Selects rosters that attend national and regional PBR events such as the Future and Jr. Future Games, West Coast Games, NorthEast Senior Games and New York State Games.

Many players impressed during their individual workouts at the showcase. Below we have the complete advanced metrics leaderboards from the bullpen session at the event.
