Rising Stars Top Performers: Infield Velocity
July 13, 2020
The Rising Stars brought out an impressive crop of talent and now we will see how the next generation fo talent stacks up against each other with the Rising Stars: Stat Leaderboard. From this group, players have been selected to represent Team Nevada at the upcoming Junior Future Games later this month in Cartersville, Georgia against the top 2024 and 2025 prospects in the country.
This event was designed to educate the next generation of prospect on what the showcase environment would entail as well as getting the baseline information of each prospect to populate their PBR Player Profiles. These profiles will now be the place where PBR Staff, both locally and nationally, can provide input and updates to give these athletes every opportunity to achieve their goal of playing at the next level.
Next up, Top Infield Velocity highlighted by incoming Shadow Ridge freshman, Dylan Franco, who threw an event best 80 mph across the diamond. The lone California participant, Bryan Yang, achieved the second best velocity with an easy 76 mph from shortstop. San Diego State commit, Ty Southesine, and GBG Vegas product, Jase DeSantis, were two of the top performers in their respective classes and both topped out at 72 mph. The crop of infielders at the Rising Stars event may have been the deepest position talent wise and will be an exciting group to follow in the coming years. #BeSeen
