This event will be followed by another pair of Preseason ID's (Colorado Springs and Denver) and the winter schedule will conclude with the Preseason All-State at the end of the month.
The event featured 40 players 2023-2026 classes including some good performances from some unsigned seniors, as well as some underclassmen who made good first impressions to start the season. With a ton of talent on display Sunday, we'll continue to break down the top performers throughout the week from all the data collected through our tech partners below.
All players ran through our series of our tech partners including TrackMan and Blast Motion for batting practice, as well as TrackMan for pitcher bullpens, Swift Performance athletic testing and Vizual Edge testing.
