Top Prospects: Upperclass - Pitching Reports
July 15, 2023
Emerson GA - On June 13th we hosted some of the top 2024 prospects in the state for the Top Prospect Games. The players went through a pro-style working, and took batting practice with Blast Motion and Trackman metrics. Game play followed the pro-style workout and pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more.
To close out our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all Pitchers from the 13th.
