Missouri State Preseason ID: Pitching Leaderboards


By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

On Sunday, January 22nd, the PBR Missouri staff traveled to Hammons Field, home of the Missouri State University baseball program and Springfield Cardinals, to host the inaugural Missouri State Preseason ID. This event featured roughly 30 players from the 2023-to-2026 classes across Missouri and it served as an early identifier for future invite-only events, such as the Preseason All-State or the PBR Future Games. It also allowed our staff an opportunity to check in on players from this area of the state prior to the high school season commencing.

Shortly after the event's conclusion, our staff highlighted several players who stood out from the day within our 'Quick Hits' piece. You can learn more about those players by clicking HERE. We then put together stat leaderboards to spotlight the names that paced their peers in each of our specific stat categories, which you can find HERE.

We then turned to our partners at TrackMan, who helped us capture valuable in-event data that we spotlighted within our hitting leaderboards. Today, we'll turn to the mound and take a look at several pitch metrics collected at this event. You'll find all of that below.
