The 2022 West TN Preseason ID Showcase was held Sunday, January 23rd at the University of Memphis. This event was our annual journey to the western territory with players ranging from the classes of 2022-2025. These players went through an extended pro-style workout, took batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion sensors. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing as they prep for the Spring season.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the top performers and standouts from the event. Please feel free to dive into our Stat Story, highlighting metric leaderboards, and the Trackman Files, emphasizing batted ball and pitch data. Prospect videos and metrics are live in player profiles, and we continue to knock out individual scouting reports over the following weeks.
