Top Prospect Upperclass Games: Hitting Leaderboard
June 19, 2023
PBR Arkansas hosted the Top Prospect Upperclass Games on Tuesday, June 13th at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock. The invite-only event featured talented prospects from the 2024 and 2025 classes.
The players took part in a traditional pro style workout with laser timed 60's, BP rounds with data captured by Trackman and Blast motion, defensive evaluations with radar gun readings, and finished it up with a simulated game where pitchers faced live hitters and had their data captured by Trackman.

Today, with the help of our partners at TrackMan and Blast Motion, we’ve compiled leaderboards to highlight which names had the most impressive batted ball data, as well as swing metrics, too. You’ll find those leaders, below.
