MOKAN Top Prospect Games: Upperclass Hitting Leaderboard


By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

On Tuesday, June 6th, the PBR Missouri and Kansas staffs traveled to Creekside in Parkville, MO, to host the annual MOKAN Top Prospect Games: Upperclass event. This invite-only showcase featured some of the top 2024 and 2025 graduates from the two states, and those in attendance participated in a pro-style workout, followed by a simulated game.

Over the years, this event has provided our staff with an up-close look at some of the state’s premier underclass talent. These ‘Top Prospect’ events, like all of our PBR showcases, serve as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the PBR Future Games.

Shortly after the event’s conclusion, our staff published the day’s stat leaders, highlighting a handful of names who put up numbers across the board. You can find that by clicking HERE. 

Today, with the help of our partners at TrackMan and Blast Motion, we’ve compiled leaderboards to highlight which names had the most impressive batted ball data, as well as swing metrics, too. You’ll find those leaders, below.
