Alabama Fall Games: Catcher Reports


PBR Alabama Staff

MONTEVALLO, AL - The Alabama Fall Games was held on Sunday, August 27th at the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, AL. This was an open event that consisted of prospects in the 2024-2027 classes. These players went through a pro-style workout and took batting practice using Trackman to record hitting metrics. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Sunday.
