Houston Preseason ID: Stat Story
January 10, 2023
HOUSTON, TX - On Saturday, January 7th, the PBR TX staff traveled to Rice University in the heart of Houston to host the Houston Preseason ID. The event consisted of players from all high school classes participating in a pro style workout. They started by running a 60, using swift performance timing gates, then moved into the defensive workout. The day was capped off with a round of batting practice followed by pitchers throwing bullpens, both portions collecting the TrackMan data you see below. Today, we take a look at the top statistical performers from the following categories: 60 Time, OF Velo, INF Velo, C Velo, Pop time, Max FB Velo, Max Exit Velo.
