New Mexico State Games: Statistical Analysis
November 5, 2024
This past weekend, November 2nd and 3rd, the Prep Baseball Arizona staff travelled to East to host the inaugural New Mexico State Games and get a look at the high school talent the Albuquerque area has to offer. Rio Rancho High School played host and the event featured over 70 players in the 2025-2028 classes. It was a talented group with several players from multiple classes garnering national attention and we'll continue to showcase top talent at the event over the next several days.
All players ran through a full pro-style workout on Saturday alongside our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion, Vizual Edge and Vald Training, followed by a trio of games on Saturday. 'State Games' events allow our staff to get a look at a large pool of top talent from a specific area, while also giving us the chance to see how these players perform in game-action against quality competition.
The event featured several premiere prospects in the State with all players at the event still uncommitted, but it shouldn't be long before some of these names start flying off the board.
Today we'll start our deep dive into the data collected at this event within this Statistical Analysis story. Over the next couple of days we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data we collected rolling out even more coverage from the event.
