Phoenix Rising Stars ID: Blast Motion Leaders
April 5, 2023
On Saturday, April 1st, PBR Arizona hosted its first Rising Stars event of the season at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. Rising Stars showcases are for the 2027-2028 classes and serve as identifiers for PBR Arizona's team at the PBR Jr. Future Games.
The event was heavy on 2027 prospects and gave our staff a look at some interesting incoming freshman who will be on the high school scene for several years to come.
At this event, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60 Times and running splits measured by Swift Performance, Batting Practice measured by TrackMan, Catch Pop Time and Velocity, Outfield Evaluation and Velocity, Infield Evaluation and Velocity and Pitcher Bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.
Below, we continue to break down all the data from the event with a look at the top Blast Motion metrics from Tuesday.
