TX 2023 Rewind: Max Bat Speed
December 28, 2023
As we wrap up 2023 and gear up for the new year, our Texas staff has decided to compile all of the numbers and data from our event schedule this year, to compile a series of leaderboards. All of the data for the following leaderboards below were captured by our partners, at one of our PBR Texas events. Our event schedule included our Preseason ID's, Rising Stars ID's, Summer Open events, Fall ID's, and our invite-only events, such as the Top Prospect Games, Texas State Games. Today, we take a look at the top bat speeds (via Blast Motion) from 2023, separated by class.
