Upperclass Preseason All-State: TrackMan Hitting Leaders
February 7, 2023
On Sunday, February 5th, PBR Arizona hosted the Upperclass Preseason All-State at Mountain View High School in Mesa, Arizona. The event is one of the marquee events each year on PBR Arizona's schedule and it was another loaded roster that included some of the top upperclass players in the State, as well as a select few 2025 prospects.
The event featured 11 committed prospect, including nine at the Division I level, as well as some of the top uncommitted talent in the State. We got an early look at several high-end arms from the State, which also allowed us to see the hitters in live at-bats.
All players ran through our series of tech partners including TrackMan for both bullpens and batting practice, Blast Motion, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge. Below, we begin to break down all the data from the event with a look at the top TrackMan metrics from batting practice in the showcase.
