WILDOMAR, CA. - The Road to the California State Games made its first deep trek into Riverside County with a stop at Elsinore HS where players came to show their fall/winter development as their high school seasons are just a few weeks away. The invitation only event roster was finalized at 53 players who kicked off the inaugural Riverside County Preseason All-State Showcase.
Players were put through a customary pro-style workout that included a laser-time 60-yard sprint, a round of batting practice, a defensive workout that includes double-play turns for infielders, and concluded with bullpen sessions for pitchers. We purposely did not include games because we didn’t want to put pitchers who aren’t ready to face live hitters in that situation.
Many players were attending their first ever PBR California event giving us a first look at these players in a showcase setting after having seen most with their high school or club teams. In some cases we saw players for the first time with several validating their invitations by leaving a lasting impression and quickly getting added to the spring follow list.
As we dive deeper into our notes and videos we will release more post-event content. Earlier we released our Quick Hits and now we present our Statistical Analysis.
Top 60-yd Times:
Players were able to run a full, laser-timed 60 yard dash in the workout from a base-stealing start position. The top 60 yard dash times are below.
