With 2022 drawing to a close and the PBR Arizona Showcase Season completed, our staff will begin looking back at the top metrics from each class throughout the year. Including national events, our staff hosted 19 showcases with hundreds of players from across the State, as well as a handful of players from surrounding States.

With all of the data collected throughout the year, we continue our 2022 leaderboards with a look at the top positional velocities and pop-times from the 2026 class.
