Knoxville Open + Rising Stars ID: Statistical Leaderboards
June 23, 2023
KNOXVILLE, TN - The Knoxville Open and Knoxville Rising Stars ID was held on Tuesday, June 20th at 2023 TSSAA Division II-AA State Champion Knoxville Catholic. This event was an open event that consisted of players from the 2024-2028 classes from Volunteer state, with many making their first appearance at a showcase style setting. 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 some of the top performers and standouts from Tuesday. Continuing over the course of the next week or so, we will release different statistical leaderboards for the event along with other pieces of content.
