In late June, over 50 players from all corners of Virginia and DC descended on Ironbridge Academy for our 2023 Junior State Games. The event was planned for the University of Richmond, but had to be moved due to the rain that fell most of the day. Hitters still got to face live pitching and all video and metrics were recorded. Today, we continue to recognize the top performers from the event, with the Best Defenders on display:
