Denver Rising Stars ID: TrackMan Hitting Leaders
April 18, 2023
On Monday, April 17th, PBR Colorado hosted its first Rising Stars ID showcase of the year at the Marucci Clubhouse in Castle Rock.
The event gave our staff a look at over at roughly 25 players in the 2027 and 2028 classes from the Denver area. Rising Stars ID's serve as an introductory showcase to a new crop of players coming through, as well as give players a chance to showcase themselves for the PBR Jr. Future Games in Emerson, Georgia. PBR Colorado will once again have a team at this summer's Jr. Future Games at LakePoint and the event serves as PBR's marquee event of the year for these grad classes.
We had several players at the event post strong performances and we begin to break it all down below with our stat and data leaderboards.
At this event, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60-yard times and splits measured by Swift Performance, batting practice measured by TrackMan, catcher pop-times and velocity, outfield evaluation and velocity, infield evaluation and velocity and pitcher bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.
Below, we begin our post-event coverage with a look at the top hitting metrics from the batting practice portion of Monday's showcase.
