Alabama Fall Prospect Games: Pitcher Reports


PBR Alabama Staff

The Alabama Fall Prospect Games were held Sunday, October 24th at the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, AL. This event consisted of players ranging from the classes of 2022-2025. These players went through an extended pro-style workout, took batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion sensors. Pitchers were able to throw against hitters in simulated gameplay, and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit. 

We conclude our post-event coverage today by taking a look at all of the pitchers that tossed an inning on the mound during game play.  

Many thanks to the players, parents, staff, and the University of Montevallo for making the event a very successful one.
