Clarksville Open: Pitcher Reports


PBR Tennessee Staff

CLARKSVILLE, TN - The Clarksville Open was held on Tuesday, June 27th at Austin Peay University in Clarksville, TN This event was an open event that consisted of players from the 2024-2027 classes from Volunteer state. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan. 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 Tuesday.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at the scouting reports from the event. First, we take a look at all positional players from the Clarksville Open.
