Ottawa/Gatineau Preseason ID: Hitting Data Dive
March 4, 2024
On Friday, March 1st, the Prep Baseball Ontario staff hosted it's second Preseason ID of the year with the Ottawa/Gatineau Preseason ID at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata, Ontario and the event gives players a chance to showcase their offseason developments prior to their spring trips down South. The event also serves as an identifier and qualifier for our Select Series Events such as Future Games (2026), Jr. Future Games (2028/2029), Senior Future Games (2025), West Coast Games (2025/2026) Best of the West (18U & 15U), NY State Games (2025-2027) and NorthEast Senior Games (2025).
This event featured roughly 30 prospects from the Ottawa and Monteal areas in the 2024 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partner TrackMan.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. Now, we conclude our post-event coverage within this Hitting Data Dive article as we take a look at the top Trackman hitting data:
