Top Prospect Upperclass Games: Stat Story
July 5, 2022
Prep Baseball Report Arkansas hosted the Top Prospect Upperclass Games at the University of Central Arkansas featuring players from the 2023 and 2024 grad classes. Players went through all the traditional showcase metrics such as BP, defensive evaluations, and live gameplay. The 60's were timed using the new Swift lasers as well as jumping metrics captured on jump mats. There was also data captured from our partners with Trackman, Blast Motion, and Vizual edge with more on some of those leaders in the coming days. Today we take a look at the traditional metric leaders from the event. Full event details can be found by clicking here.
