Arkansas Preseason All-State: Trackman Pitchers

February 16, 2022
Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS/ARK Assistant Scouting Director

Prep Baseball Report Arkansas hosted the Preseason All-State in Conway that featured 55 players from all over the State coming from the 2022 class to the 2026 class. Today we take a look at the pitching leaders in data collected by Trackman during the bullpens with looks at the top velocities, spin rates, induced vertical breaks, and horizontal breaks on fastballs, sliders, and curveballs. Down below you'll find the top leaders in each category broken down by class with some really impressive numbers being put up by a few well-known names as well as a few potential risers. Full event details and stats can be found by clicking here.
