#PBRWCG23 | Team Nevada Stat Leaders
August 8, 2023
The West Coast Games has quickly established itself as the premier event for Uncommitted rising upperclassmen on the West Coast, this event will give an unparalleled opportunity to each player in attendance by delivering a “one-stop-shop” for college coaches to recruit in the city of Las Vegas. Beyond the on-looking eyes of scouts and coaches, PBR’s unmatched coverage and commitment to elevating players via advanced metrics and technology (Trackman, Blast, Swift Performance), along with multiple social media platforms, will provide elite exposure for each player in attendance.
In year three of the event, we began with an electric Position Player Workout that produced standout performances throughout to kick off what culminated in a successful weekend of baseball for the top Uncommitted players in the West Region with 35+ college programs in attendance.
Today, we take a deeper dive into the stat leaderboards from our Position Player Workout on Day 1, highlighted by the batting practice session that saw 36 players register a 100+ mph Exit Velocity via TrackMan.
