Prep Baseball Report

Best of 2023: Top Fastball Velocities


Austin Sharp
Alabama Scouting Director

With the year of 2023 in the books for Prep Baseball Alabama, our staff decided to reflect and dive deeper into each event we hosted over the course of the last 12 months. This included taking a look at the top statistical performers from each showcase and scout day and compiling each category into one whole list. As you will see in the lists below, there were definitely some noteworthy performances that players turned in during the pro-style workouts. 

Leading up to New Year's Eve, we will release each statistical category from our 2023 event schedule. Today, we take a look at the top fastball velocities from 2023.
