2022 PNW Rewind: Catcher Velocity
January 7, 2023
As we are beginning to wrap up the year of 2022 and gear up for the 2023 Preseason, our PBR Pacific Northwest Staff has decided to gather all the numbers and data from our event schedule in 2022.
All of the data for the following Catcher Velocity leaderboard is based on the information gathered from PBR Pacific Northwest events such as, Preseason ID's, Preseason All-State, Summer Opens, Scout Days, etc.
Continuing our rewind of our 2022 leaderboards, we are taking a look at the top-10 C velocities in each class from 2022.
