February 23, 2024
On Monday, February 19th the Prep Baseball British Columbia staff hosted it's first showcase of the season with the Abbotsford Preseason ID at Delair Park Indoor Facility in Abbotsford, British Columbia. This event featured over 47 players from the across the province in the 2024 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partner TrackMan.
The event also serves as an identifier and qualifier for our Select Series Events such as Future Games (2026), Jr. Future Games (2028/2029), Senior Future Games (2025), West Coast Games (2025/2026) and Best of the West (18U & 15U).
This event featured roughly 40 prospects from the Abbotsford area in the 2024 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partners TrackMan and Swift Performance.
