Team Ontario Astros Scout Day: Statistical Analysis


Cam Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, Canada

On Tuesday, September 30th, the Prep Baseball Ontario staff hosted it's third Scout Day of the fall season with the Team Ontario Astros Scout Day at The Dugout in Vaughan, Ontario. This event featured nearly 45+ players from the Astros program in the 2026 - 2030 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partners TrackMan and VALD Performance.

Today we'll start our deep dive into the data collected at this event within this Statistical Analysis story as we take a look at the top TrackMan and Vald data, as well as positional metrics, collected at the event.
