Lower Mainland Fall ID: Hitting Data Dive


Cam Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, Canada

On Friday, October 11th, the Prep Baseball British Columbia staff hosted it's first of two Fall ID's with the Lower Mainland Fall ID at Whalley Stadium in Surrey, British Columbia. This event featured roughly 22 prospects from the Lower Mainland in the 2025 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partner TrackMan. Fall ID's allow players one final chance to update their metrics and profile before the winter season.

Earlier this week we began our post-event coverage within our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Today we'll conclude our post-event leaderboards within this article as we take a look at the top hitting metrics, captured by TrackMan, from the Lower Mainland Fall ID.
