Ontario Preseason Invitational: Statistical Analysis


Cam Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, Canada

On Monday, February 17th, the Prep Baseball Ontario staff hosted it's third event of the 2025 season with our inaugural and sold out Ontario Preseason Invitational hosted at the Athletes Turf Inc., home of the Ontario Blue Jays, in Mississauga, Ontario.

This event featured 60+ prospects in the 2025 - 2028 classes and it was another strong group that featured some of the top players in their respective classes and provided some strong leaderboards on both the positional side and the pitching side. Players at the event, alongside Preseason Events across the country, are competing for roster spots on Canada/Ontario's National Team's at events such as the Future Games, Senior Future Games, West Coast Games, New York State Games, NorthEast Senior Games and the Best of the West.

All player ran through a full workout that included batting practice and bullpens captured on our TrackMan, as well as 30-yard springs captured by VALD Performance. 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.

Today we'll start our deep dive into the data collected at this event within this Statistical Analysis story. Over the next couple of days we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data we collected rolling out even more coverage from the event.
