Huntsville Rising Stars ID: Pitcher Reports
July 8, 2024
MADISON, AL - The Huntsville Rising Stars ID was held on Tuesday, July 2nd at James Clemens High School in Madison, AL. This event was an open event hosting some talented prospects from the 2028-2029 classes in Alabama. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw during a simulated bullpen 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 this week.
Wrapping up our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all of the pichers from the event.
