Statistical Analysis - Pacific Northwest Preseason ID
February 8, 2023
On Feb. 5th, the PBR Washington team hosted its second event of 2023, the Pacific Northwest Preseason ID, at the NW Sports Hub in Centralia, Was. This was an open event for all high school classes (2023-26) and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top players.
If you missed us in Centralia, check out our showcase page to see when we’re in the neighborhood next.
On Tuesday we published our biggest takeaways and highlights from Sunday’s showcase within our Quick Hits story. Today, we’ll dive right into the statistical side of things, analyzing Sunday’s top performers from several different statistical categories. Throughout the rest of this week, we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data we collected, too, with the help of our Blast Motion and TrackMan devices.
