Canadian College/University Showcase: Hitting Data Dive
February 10, 2025
On Saturday, February 8th, the Prep Baseball Ontario staff hosted the annual Canadian College & University Showcase, our first showcase of the 2025 season, at The Yard Athletic Centre in Cambridge, Ontario, home of the Midwestern Ontario Bearcats.
This sold out event featured 65+ prospects in the 2025 and 2026 classes and they had the chance the run through a pro-style workout infront of college coaches from roughly 15 programs, including 12 from Ontario, two from the United States (Genesee CC, Michigan-Deaborn) and Prairie Baseball Academy out of Alberta.
All player ran through a full workout that included batting practice and bullpens captured on our TrackMan and 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 broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. Now, we conclude our post-event coverage within this Hitting Data Dive article as we take a look at the top Trackman hitting data:
