On Tuesday, September 26th, the PBR Illinois and PBR Missouri staffs converged on the campus of Saint Louis University to host the annual Battle for The Arch showcase. This invite-only event featured 2024 and 2025 graduates from Missouri and the Metro East area as a whole, pitting participants in a pro-style workout, followed by a simulated eight-inning game.

Shortly after the event, we rolled out stat leaders from the day, which you can find HERE.

We also rolled out takeaways from the event for Illinois and Missouri, highlighting the day as a whole with scout notes and video on several standouts.

We're diving deeper into the data, using our partners at TrackMan and Blast Motion, to look further into a few names that put together strong showings at this event.
