ORANGE, CALIF. - The SoCal ProCase was held at Hart Park in Orange, California on Sunday, September 25th. This event was an invite only event held for select players in the 2023 class. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, participated in defensive evaluations, ran the 60 yard-dash using Swift Performance, and concluded with a simulated game. 

Pitchers were able to throw in simulated outings during gameplay and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing.

Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the leaders from each statistical category from the workout portion of the event. Please continue to check back over the next week, as we will release individual scouting reports on each player present at the event.
