The Fox River Open took place on Tuesday, June 13th at Judson University's Hoffer Field in Elgin, Illinois. The event featured over 40 prospects participating in a pro style workout in front of the PBR Scouting Staff. Today we start the event analysis with stats story. A number of players find their names on multiple leader boards. Dominic Listi (Prairie Grove, 2019) showed two-way power, logging the top fastball and outfield velocity, while placing highly in exit velocity. Matt Mier (Tri-Valley, 2018) featured a combination of power and speed, leading the way in exit velocity and finishing high in the 60 yard dash and infield velocity categories. Jimmy Friel (Grant, 2018) and Eric Nelson (Dekalb, 2018) also find their names sprinkled throughout the top metrics.
