Parkland Academy Scout Day: Statistical Analysis
June 22, 2024
On Tuesday, June 18th, the Prep Baseball Alberta staff joined forces with Parkland Academy for the first time as we hosted the Parkland Academy Scout Day at Henry Singer Ball Park in Spruce Grove, Alberta. This event featured roughly 20 players within the Parkland program in the 2025 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partners TrackMan and Blast Motion.
Today we'll start our deep dive into the data collected at this event within this Statistical Analysis story as we take a look at the top TrackMan data and metrics, as well as positional metrics.
