Medicine Hat Preseason ID: Hitting Data Dive


Cam Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, Prep Baseball Canada

On Sunday, April 14th the Prep Baseball Alberta staff hosted it's second Preseason ID of the year with the Medicine Hat Preseason ID at The Mavericks Athletic Club in Medicine Hat, Alberta. This event featured 13 players from the area within the 2025 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an up-close look at the prospects, as well as collect updates metrics and data for player profiles.

Preseason ID events allow our staff to see players ahead of their outdoor season and helps us identify players to select for our three Future Games teams (Future Games, Senior Future Games and Jr. Future Games), West Coast Games and more.

Earlier this week we began our post-event coverage within our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Today we'll conclude our post-event leaderboards within this article as we take a look at the top hitting metrics, captured by TrackMan, from the Future Games Trials in Edmonton.
