Jeff Scholzen
Utah Scouting Director

After a busy 2022 Summer season, full of tournaments, showcase events like the prestigious PBR Future Games in Atlanta and the PBR West Coast Games in Las Vegas, we take a look at the various Utah summer events and scout days, involving Blue Chip Baseball, the Rawlings Tigers, the Salt Lake Gulls and the Invite only Top Prospect Games at Pleasant Grove HS. From these four events, we will dive into the swing data captured by PBR partner Blast Motion, to present our upper-class leaderboard of the Top 10's and Top 5's in the various swing metrics.
