Green Bay Preseason ID: Infield Analysis
April 27, 2022
On Feb. 27, PBR Wisconsin hosted the first annual Green Bay Preseason ID at the brand new Impact Sports Academy in De Pere, Wis. Nearly 100 players made it out to this event, providing us with updated looks and a new list of prospects to follow in an area of Wisconsin that’s begun to produce more and more next-level talent.
In the week that followed this event, we produced post-event analysis that includes performance highlights inside of our Quick Hits story, a look at the traditional stats measured within our Statistical Analysis piece, batted-ball and pitch data compiled in TrackMan Files, swing metrics captured on the Blast Motion Board, and sight scores from an athletic perspective tracked on the Vizual Edge Scoreboard.
You can learn more about the state-of-the-art technologies featured at our showcases within the hyperlinks above. We began our post-event process by rolling out the day’s individual scouting reports earlier this week with the catching crop and touched on the outfielders yesterday. Today, we’ll cap our work on the position players with the infielders, found below.
