West Coast Canes Scout Day: Blast Motion Leaders


Cam Black-Araujo
PBR Arizona Operations

This past weekend our staff hosted the Canes West program for a three-day Scout Day which included batting practice at Grand Canyon, a full pro-style workout with complete data, as well as three games for each team.

We had players in attendance from Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico including some high-end talent from the 2024, 2025 and 2026 classes. We over 120 players in attendance with some intriguing talent already signed to schools, as well as some uncommitted prospects who showed well throughout the weekend.

All players ran through our series of tech partners including TrackMan for batting practice and in-game for pitchers, Blast Motion during BP and Swift Performance for 60-yard times and running splits.

Below, we continue our post-event coverage with a look at the top Blast Motion data from the batting practice portion of the event at Grand Canyon University.
