On Saturday, May 6th the PBR Arizona staff headed south to continue its Rising Stars ID series with an event in Tucson at the University of Arizona. Rising Stars showcases are for the 2027-2028 classes and serve as identifiers for PBR Arizona's team at the PBR Jr. Future Games.

The event was heavy on 2027 prospects and gave our staff a look at some interesting incoming freshman who will be on the high school scene for several years to come. 

All players ran through our series of tech partners including TrackMan for both bullpens and batting practice, Blast Motion during BP, Swift Performance for 60-yard times and splits and Vizual Edge for visual testing.

Below, we continue our post-event coverage with a look at the top TrackMan pitching data from the showcase.
