2025 Preseason All-State Leaderboard: Catcher Statistics
February 1, 2025
TEXAS - The Preseason All-State Showcase is an invitation-only event that features the top players across the state. This year in Texas, we hosted two separate Preseason All-State events (North & South). The purpose of these events is to give the top players a chance to shocase the work they put in during the offseason, and that they did. Players from all classes showed that they were active during the offseason and today we continue our 2025 Preseason All-State leaderboards with a look at the top Catcher Velocities & Pop Times split into underclass & upperclass.
