To kick off 2023, the PBR TX Staff hosted six preseason ID events this January. Starting in Fort worth, then to Houston, San Antonio, back to Houston, back to DFW and finishing in Salado. There was a great turnout of prospects from all classes and all around the state. We are going to begin looking at the TX leaderboards for different metrics, broken down by class. Today, we continue our leaderboards with Catcher Velocity & Pop Times for the 2024-2026 classes
