Staff Writer, Associate Scout

On Feb. 5th, the PBR Washington team hosted its second event of 2023, the Pacific Northwest Preseason ID, at the NW Sports Hub in Centralia, Was. This was an open event for all high school classes (2023-26) and gave our staff an ample look at the area's top players.

If you missed us in Centralia, check out our showcase page to see when we’re in the neighborhood next.

Earlier this week we published Quick Hits highlighting the top prospects of the event by class. We also rolled out a Statistical Analysis pointing out the top recorded stats by category followed by our TrackMan Files story where we dove even deeper into all the data we collected in-event. Now we'll continue to roll out the data we gathered from this event, starting with the analytics we have at our disposal from our Blast Motion devices. Below we'll look at which players had noteworthy swing metrics.

HAND SPEED (PEAK & AVERAGE)

BAT SPEED (AVERAGE)
