Colin Chamblin
Manager, Deep South Operations

With the summer of 2023 in the books for PBR Georgia, our staff decided to reflect and dive deeper into each event we hosted over the course of the three months. This included taking a look at the top statistical performers from each showcase and compiling each category into its each individual leaderboard. As you will see in the list below, there were definitely some noteworthy performances that players turned in during the pro-style workouts. 

From electric arms to power hitters, this summer had everything you could've asked for. Let's go back and take a look back at the top statistical performers from the summer of 2023. Next, we take a look at the top catcher velos and pop times from the summer of 2023 in the Peach State.
