Preseason All-State: Blast Motion Leaderboard
March 9, 2023
On Saturday, March 4th the PBR Utah staff hosted our final high school event of the winter with the Utah Preseason All-State at Hurricane High School in Hurricane, Utah. The event was loaded from top-to-bottom with some of Utah's top prospects in four different classes highlighted by a bunch of former Future Gamers and nine Division I commitments with 21 total commits at the event.
We had prospects from the 2023 - 2026 classes in attendance which gave our staff a look at 110 players with a boat load of uncommitted talent, several of whom have a chance to join Team Utah at this summer's Future Games or West Coast Games. Over the next week our staff will begin to break down everything from the event with leaderboards from four sets of leaderboards from our tech partners, as well as Quick Hits with scouting notes on some standouts.
At this event, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60 Times and splits measured by Swift Performance, Batting Practice measured by TrackMan and Blast Motion, visual testing measured by Vizual Edge, Catch Pop Time and Velocity, Outfield Evaluation and Velocity, Infield Evaluation and Velocity, 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 and data from the event.
