Inside the Numbers: Trackman Max Fastball Velocities By Class
November 9, 2020
With a multitude of events we have hosted throughout the summer and fall, today we dive into some numbers to take a look at the top fastball velocities recorded via our Trackman unit. These fastball velocity numbers are the highest recorded from the combination of all of our summer and fall events.
Last week we broke down the max fastball velocities recorded by the Trackman unit without separating them by graduating class. Today, we take a look at the top 10 fastball velocities recorded by each high school graduating class (2021-2024)
NOTE: Only includes in-state showcase events where Trackman was used. Does not include PBR Future Games or Junior Future Games. Check individual player profiles for possible higher recorded velocities.
NOTE: Includes KY/TN Border Battle Event
