The Pocket Radar Five Tool Hot List
The Pocket Radar Five Tool Hot List is now live for Five Tool primary summer events.
This list is compromised of pitchers who hit 85-mph on the Pocket Radar. Each site director at primary Five Tool events are given a Pocket Radar Smart Coach to film and record velocities of pitchers. The Hot List helps enhance Five Tool events by creating buzz around prospects who, at the very least, are considered to have an intriguing arm.
