Emerson GA - On September 2nd we hosted some of the top uncommitted 2024 prospects in the state for the Georgia Senior Games. This event is one of our top for uncommitted seniors. The players went through a pro-style working, and took batting practice with Blast Motion and Trackman metrics. Game play followed the pro-style workout and pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. 

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at all catchers from the 2nd. Stay tuned for the rest of the position player and pitchers to follow.
