Colorado Springs Preseason ID: TrackMan Hitting Leaders
February 13, 2023
On Sunday, February 12th, PBR Colorado hosted its second Preseason ID on the 2023 schedule with the Colorado Springs Preseason ID. This event will be followed by our final Preseason ID in Denver and the winter schedule will conclude with the Preseason All-State at the end of the month.
The event featured nearly 40 players from the 2023 - 2026 classes and was heavy with underclassmen, with several making good first impressions. With a ton of talent on display Sunday, we'll continue to break down the top performers throughout the week from all the data collected through our tech partners below.
All players ran through our series of our tech partners including TrackMan and Blast Motion for batting practice, as well as TrackMan for pitcher bullpens, Swift Performance athletic testing and Vizual Edge testing. Below, we continue our post-event coverage with a look at the top TrackMan hitting data from the event.
