Holiday Hitters - Victoria/North Vancouver: Hitting Data Dive
January 6, 2024
This past Wednesday and Thursday, the Prep Baseball BC staff hosted it's part in Prep Baseball Canada's Holiday Hitters Series with the Hitters-Only Showcases in Victoria (Harbourcats Player Club) and North Vancouver (Inside Performance). These two events featured roughly 38 players from both the Island and the Mainland in the 2024 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at how players are progressing this winter as players received several extended rounds of BP utilizing our TrackMan and Blast Motion sensors for the complete breakdown and metrics.
Today, we will take an in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
