Central Georgia Summer ID: Statistical Analysis
June 14, 2024
Dublin, GA - The Prep Baseball Georgia Staff hit the road to Central Georgia for a Summer ID event at Southern Pines Regional Park. This event was an opportunity to see players from the 2025-2028 classes from the area. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw short bullpens with Trackman. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Wednesday.
Today, we will begin the event analysis with a look at the traditional statistics collected at a showcase: 60 yard time, fastball velocity, exit velocity, arm strength, and pop times. In the coming days, we will take a deeper dive into the, TrackMan data, along with a closer look at some more position player data.
