This past Thursday, the Prep Baseball Alberta staff hosted it's part in Prep Baseball Canada's Holiday Hitters Series with the Hitters-Only Showcase in Calgary at Diamondawgs Baseball & Softball Facilitiy in Calgary, Alberta. This event featured roughly 12 players from the Calgary area in the 2024 - 2026 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at how players are progressing this winter as players received several extended rounds of BP utilizing our TrackMan and Blast Motion sensors for the complete breakdown and metrics.

Today, we will take an in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
