PBR California's Underclass Games took place over the weekend with separate events in both Northern and Southern California. We got to see familiar faces and some new ones show out at both events. The Underclass Games is an event designed to identify projectable players in the classes of 2026 and 2027 before they start their spring seasons.
In Northern California, players gathered at Islanders Field in Lathrop for a pro style workout as well as a simulated game. Today we look at the Blast Hitting Leaderboards.

Our team measures the statistics below using Blast Motion's Swing Analyzers that attach to the knob of the bat. This is the most reliable source for this data and allows scouts to further evaluate a players swing.
