Winter Winners: Average Curveball Spin Rate
April 9, 2021
The PBR Wisconsin staff hosted six winter showcases, running from January through March, that took us across the Milwaukee area, through the Fox Cities, and Madison. We're published the majority of our post-event content already – from event highlights, statistical leaderboards, TrackMan insights, to Blast Motion swing analysis. We're in the midst or writing scouting reports on each of the players who attended winter events, but in the meantime, we're pulling together all of the leaderboards from these winter events to see the top performers of the season.
We published the Max Exit Velocity and Max Fastball Velocity leaderboards earlier in the week, and we have the Average Curveball Spin Rate leaderboards for you to peruse today.
