Best of 2021: JUCO Max Exit Velocity Leaders
December 13, 2021
For the first time this fall, PBR Illinois made a concerted effort to check in on several of the state's JUCO programs and familiarize ourselves with that aspect of amateur baseball. Our staff ran 10 total junior college events this fall - nine of which were individual scout days and we also hosted the Region IV Showcase for the first time.
We collected an abundance of data throughout our extensive coverage of the JUCO realm this fall and now, as the year comes to an end, we're eager to take a look at which players put up the most impressive numbers.
Below you'll find the loudest contact we saw this fall, led by Joliet JC RHP/OF Douglas Loden.
