Year in Review - Top Outfield Arm Strength of 2020
December 18, 2020
As we prepare to turn the clock and close the book on a difficult 2020, our staff has taken an in-depth look at stats compiled at a host of events that took place across the state over the past year.
2020 has been an outstanding year, in light of the challenges presented by the current pandemic. The addition of state of the art technology from TrackMan and Blast Motion is a testament to the commitment from Prep Baseball Report Pennsylvania to continue to assist players in the Keystone State in reaching their ultimate goals. With over 900 colleges and pro teams subscribed to our services, along with the addition of professional live streaming to all summer/fall 2020 events, our platform has been a key component in the recruiting process for countless players across the state.
We’ve crunched all the numbers and have identified the top performances in each statistical category from our events. Included in the final results are players from outside the state borders that have excelled while participating in a PBR Pennsylvania event.
