Georgia Top Prospect Games: Quick Hits - 2027/2028
June 7, 2024
Emerson, GA - The Prep Baseball Georgia Staff hosted the Top Prospects Underclass Games on June 4th and 5th at Lakepoint Sports. This event was an opportunity to see top players from the 2026-2028 classes. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in live games with Trackman. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Tuesday.
Today, we will begin the event analysis with a look at the traditional statistics collected at a showcase: 60 yard time, fastball velocity, exit velocity, arm strength, and pop times. In the coming days, we will take a deeper dive into the, TrackMan data, along with a closer look at some more position player data.
