The Rising Stars brought out an impressive crop of talent and now we will see how the next generation fo talent stacks up against each other with the Rising Stars: Stat Leaderboard. From this group, players have been selected to represent Team Nevada at the upcoming Junior Future Games later this month in Cartersville, Georgia against the top 2024 and 2025 prospects in the country. 

This event was designed to educate the next generation of prospect on what the showcase environment would entail as well as getting the baseline information of each prospect to populate their PBR Player Profiles. These profiles will now be the place where PBR Staff, both locally and nationally, can provide input and updates to give these athletes every opportunity to achieve their goal of playing at the next level. 

We continue on with the breakdown of the Rising Stars Top Performers as we dive into the Top Exit Velocities courtesy of Trackman. The is group is lead by San Diego State commit, Ty Southisene, who will be atop the leaderboard in a few more categories over the next few days. Following Southisene is GBG Vegas' product, Jase DeSantis, who came in as a relative unknown, left as one of the top overall players at the event. Dylan Franco rounds out the top three on the leaderboard with an 89 mph Exit Velocity after leading the Rising Stars in the Max Fastball Velocity category as well.

The TrackMan + Blast Hitter Update is coming Tuesday, July 14 to ETA (Elite Training Academy) for hitters to update statistical categories on their PBR Profiles for players in the 2021-2024 classes.

THIS EVENT WILL BE LIMITED TO 30 PROSPECTS

Prospects will receive multiple rounds of TrackMan + Blast Evaluated Swings (30+ Swings)

The Blast Motion system provides real time swing analysis that will be shared with players following the event to see what areas of their swings they excel as well as areas they may be deficient in to know where they can improve on for future events/competition.

The TrackMan system post contact date that allows prospects to immediately review the results of a batted ball, providing metrics such as Distance, Exit Velocity, Spin Rate, Launch Angle and much more. 

These two systems combines produce an unrivaled amount of information at the prospects fingertips that they will be able to review sessions, track progress and compare themselves to see where they stack up against players in their class. 

Data has become the ultimate separator of prospects over the past few years and this event will provide an opportunity to see where your metrics stand currently.
