Idaho Falls Preseason ID: TrackMan Hitting Leaders
February 15, 2023
On Saturday, February 11th, PBR Idaho hosted its first identification showcase of the 2023 season, the Idaho Falls Preseason ID. Preseason ID's allow our staff to get a look at players ahead of the high school season, as well as offer players a chance to update their profiles and metrics as they head into the season. They also serve as identifiers for in-state, Invite-Only events, as well as national events such as the Future Games and West Coast Games.
The event featured players from the 2023 - 2027 classes and gave us a look at a dozen players from the Idaho Falls area.
At this event, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60 Times and running splits measured by Swift Performance, Batting Practice measured by TrackMan and Blast Motion, Catch Pop Time and Velocity, Outfield Evaluation and Velocity, Infield Evaluation and Velocity, Pitcher Bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.
Below, we continue our post-event coverage with a look at the top TrackMan hitting data from the batting practice session of the showcase.
