Utah Winter Update: Blast Motion Leaderboards
December 7, 2022
PBR Utah's 2022 schedule came to a close on Saturday with the Utah Winter Update at RA Baseball Academy in Pleasant Grove, Utah. The event featured roughly 25 players from the 2023 - 2026 class looking to update their metrics and profile one final time in 2022.
Players ran through a pro-style workout utilizing our state-of-the-art technology partners. Players ran a home-to-first, following by defensive drills for infielders, outfielders and catchers. Batting practice utilized our TrackMan to secure all hitting metrics, as well as Blast Motion for swing metrics and VizualEdge for visual testing. We closed out the day with bullpens, also utilizing the TrackMan machine for data and pitching metrics.
We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.
Our post-event coverage concludes with a look at the top Blast Motion metrics from the event.
