SAN RAMON, CALIF. - Our third ever scout day with Top Tier NorCal took place on Saturday 1/28/23 at Dougherty Valley HS in San Ramon. On a cool morning we saw an enthusiastic group ranging from the 2024-2026 classes, with a handful taking the mound to show their wares.
Players were put through the traditional showcase workout that included the 60-yard dash (w/10 & 30-yard splits as well), hitting session, defensive session, concluded with pitchers throwing a 15-20 pitch pen session.
Today you can peruse the pitching data, provided by TrackMan B1 unit. The final post will highlight the athletic testing from Swift Performance.
