Flowery Branch, GA - On January 14th we hosted some of the top 2025-2027 prospects in the state for Preseason All-State event. This event is one of our top events of the year to get 2024 started. 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.
