ALABAMA - The Huntsville Preseason ID and Birmingham Preseason ID were both held this week at Clutch Performance in Huntsville, AL and GeauxPlay Fitness in Birmingham, AL. These were open events that consisted of prospects from the 2023-2026 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 30 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in simulated bullpens during the workout and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Today we wrap up our post-event coverage by taking a look at each pitcher that attended either of the events.
