St. Josephs Academy Scout Day: Statistical Analysis
September 13, 2024
On Wednesday, September 11th, the Prep Baseball Alberta staff joined forces with St. Josephs Academy for the second time this year as we hosted the St. Josephs Academy Fall Scout Day at Gulls Stadium in Sylvan Lake, Alberta. This event featured roughly 24 players within the St. Joe's program in the 2025 - 2029 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 Blast Motion.
Today we'll start our deep dive into the data collected at this event within this Statistical Analysis story as we take a look at the top TrackMan data and Blast Motion metrics, as well as positional metrics.
