Alberta Fall Open - Session 1: Positional Data Dive


Cam Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, PBR Canada

On Thursday, September 21st, the PBR Alberta staff travelled into Calgary to host the first of two Alberta Fall Open ID at Optimist Athletic Park in Calgary, Alberta. This event featured 30+ players in the 2024 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partners TrackMan and Swift Performance.

Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
