St. Louis Preseason ID: Hitting Leaderboard


By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

On Monday, February 20th, the PBR Missouri staff traveled to the Bud Dome in St. Louis, Missouri, to host the inaugural St. Louis Preseason ID. This event was the final ‘Preseason ID’ on our winter calendar and featured more than 70 players, representing the 2023-to-2026 high school grad classes, from both Illinois and Missouri.

Shortly after the event, our staff compiled the day’s statistical standouts into leaderboard format, and we put them all in one spot within our ‘Stat Story’, which can be found HERE. We then highlighted several standouts from the day within our 'Quick Hits', detailing several players at a more in-depth level. You can find that piece 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 from last Wednesday, including both exit velocities and batted distance.
