By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

On Saturday, February 4th, the PBR Missouri traveled to the Sports Barn in Wentzville, MO, to host the annual Preseason All-State. This invite-only event is the pinnacle of our winter calendar and featured several of the state's 2024, 2025, and 2026 graduates in a showcase setting. Attendees participated in a pro-style workout and received measurables collected through our staff, as well as the advanced metrics gathered via our tech partners.

Shortly after the event’s conclusion, our staff posted a ‘Stat Story’ that highlighted some of the event’s stat leaders in our traditional categories, like the 60-yard dash, throwing velocities, and more. You can find that by clicking HERE.

We then compiled our notes and digested the day as a whole within our 'Quick Hits', where we highlighted over 30 names that impressed our staff. Those nuggets can be found HERE.

Today, we've put together some batted ball leaderboards from this event with the help of our partners at TrackMan. Below you'll see which players impacted the baseball at the firmest mark on Saturday, including both exit velocities and batted distance.
