Fort Worth Summer ID: Quick Hits
July 3, 2024
TEXAS - On Tuesday July 2, we hosted the Fort Worth Summer ID at Weatherford College. This event saw players participate in a pro style workout. The players ran 60's, threw from defensive positions, then took BP. Following BP, we went straigh into bullpens where TrackMan data was recorded. Overall, it was a good day with quality players throughout. Today, we take a look at some of the standouts on the day.
