Phoenix Rising Stars ID: TrackMan Pitching Leaders
April 4, 2023
On Saturday, April 1st, PBR Arizona hosted its first Rising Stars event of the season at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. Rising Stars showcases are for the 2027-2028 classes and serve as identifiers for PBR Arizona's team at the PBR Jr. Future Games.
The event was heavy on 2027 prospects and gave our staff a look at some interesting incoming freshman who will be on the high school scene for several years to come.
All players ran through our series of tech partners including TrackMan for both bullpens and batting practice, Blast Motion, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge. Below, we continue to break down all the data from the event with a look at the top TrackMan pitching data.
