This past weekend, FTB held their 2016 Summer Tryouts at the Osceola County Stadium Complex, spring training home of the Houston Astros, in Kissimmee, Florida. Throughout part of the hitting evaluations portion, players had their exit velocities off of a tee measured. Below are some of the top exit velocities from players in the 2017-2020 grad classes that were tracked. Please note that not every player was recorded, so this is not a definitive list.
