Vancouver New Year Invite: Hitting Data Dive
February 26, 2025
On Sunday, February 23rd, the Prep Baseball British Columbia staff hosted it's second of two preseason events in BC with the Vancouver New Year Invite hosted at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia.
This event featured roughly 44 prospects in the 2025 - 2030 classes and it was another strong group of players at the Sold Out event to help us close out our February events on the West Coast. Players at the event, alongside Preseason Events across the country, are competing for roster spots on Canada's National Team's at events such as the Future Games, Senior Future Games, West Coast Games, Best of the West and the Pacific NorthWest State Games.
All player ran through a full workout that included batting practice and bullpens captured on our TrackMan. Over the next several days we'll be highlighting top performers from the event within our post-event analysis. Stay locked into our social media channels over the next several days as we continue to push out video, leaderboards and more.
Earlier this week, we began our post-event coverage within our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Today, we will continue our post-event coverage within this Pitching Data Dive as we bring you the top pitching data collected during bullpens on Sunday.
