Another year is in the books and we want to take a look back at some of the top performances of the year that was 2023. 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 Scout Days, and Mid-Atlantic Procase).
In this installment we take a look at the Top Average Hand Speed of 2023. Only those who attended an event with Blast Baseball are eligible for this category.
(Note: These are the scores players achieved at an event in Virginia. Some players may have improved their numbers at another state event or tournament. Click on the player to see their profile and learn more about each.
