Phoenix Preseason ID: TrackMan Files (Pitching)
January 24, 2023
On Saturday, January 21st, PBR Arizona hosted its first showcase of the 2023 season, the Phoenix Preseason ID, at Apollo High School. The event featured over 75 players from the 2023 and 2027 classes, allowing our staff the chance to get early looks at some unsigned upperclassmen, as well the next wave of talent coming through the State.
All players ran through our series of tech partners including TrackMan for both bullpens and batting practice, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge. Below, we continue to down all the data from the event with a look at the top pitching metrics from the showcase.
