As we finally near the end of another year, we wanted to take a look back at some of the top performances of the year that was 2020. So we give to you our PBR Virginia/DC Leaderboard. For these players to qualify, they had to be at a PBR Virginia/DC affiliated event (Including Team PBR, PBR Future Games, Scout Days, and Mid-Atlantic Procase).

In this installment, we stay on the bump and take a look at the top fastball spin rate and who did it in 2020.

(Note: This is the fastball velocity these players achieved at an event in Maryland. Some players have improved their numbers at another state event or tournament. Click on the player to see their profile and learn more about each.
