Toronto Rising Stars ID: Positional Data Dive
April 4, 2025
On Monday, March 31st, the Prep Baseball Ontario staff hosted it's first of two Rising Stars ID's with the Sold Out Toronto Rising Stars ID hosted at the The Yard, in Oshawa, Ontario.
This event featured 60+ prospects in the 2029 - 2030 classes and for an introductory showcase that allowed the young athletes to compete in their first showcase with players stricly within their age group. Rising Stars ID's also serve as identifiers for Canada's Junior Future Games Team that will compete at LakePoint Sports in late July against top players from each U.S. State.
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 and positional drills including velocities. 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 Positional Data Dive as we take a look at the top TrackMan Hitting and VALD Performance running data.
