Top Prospect Upperclass Games: Hitting Leaderboard
June 19, 2023
PBR Arkansas hosted the Top Prospect Upperclass Games on Tuesday, June 13th at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock. The invite-only event featured talented prospects from the 2024 and 2025 classes.
The players took part in a traditional pro style workout with laser timed 60's, BP rounds with data captured by Trackman and Blast motion, defensive evaluations with radar gun readings, and finished it up with a simulated game where pitchers faced live hitters and had their data captured by Trackman.
