2020 Border Battle Hitters
October 23, 2018
Tim Kay
PBR Tennessee Director of Scouting
On October 13th, the University of Kentucky hosted some of the top 2020’s from the states of Tennessee and Kentucky to play against each other. Players participated in a showcase in the morning, including defensive evaluations and BP before entering into two 10 inning games. The weather had an impact on the day, as temperatures hovered in the low to mid 40’s with consistent cloud cover. Many of the pitchers and position players have posted better measurables during the summer and this fall in better conditions, which makes the big numbers posted by some of the players jump out even more. Read up on every hitter who attended on Saturday in the 2020 class below!
