Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

On Sunday, September 11th, the PBR Missouri staff traveled to Atkins Field in Columbia, Missouri, to host the biggest event on our fall calendar - the Missouri Fall Underclass and Upperclass Games. These two events ran in conjunction with each other, starting with the former and finishing with the latter, and featured 2023-to-2026 prospects invited by the PBR Missouri staff to participate in a workout, followed up by gameplay.

Earlier this week we highlighted some of the day's standouts inside our takeaways piece, and today we're going to be diving deeper into the data collected at Sunday's event. We're able to highlight which players paced the way in batted ball data, pitch metrics, and swing analytics thanks to our partners at TrackMan and Blast Motion.

Read below to see which prospects put up noteworthy data unseen by the naked eye below.
