2023 Louisiana Rewind: Top Catcher Velocities
December 14, 2023
As we begin to wrap up 2023 and gear up for the new year, our Louisiana staff has decided to compile all of the numbers and data from our event schedule this year, to compile a series of leaderboards. All of the data for the following leaderboards were captured at one of our PBR Louisiana events. Our event schedule included our Preseason ID's, Rising Stars ID's, Summer Open events, Fall ID's, and our invite-only events, such as the Top Prospect Games, Louisiana State Games, and the Future Games. Today, we take a look at the top catcher velocities from 2023.
