C35 Scout Day: Quick Hitters-Position Players
August 26, 2021
PBR of North Carolina was on hand at Jim Perry Stadium on the campus of Campbell University on Thursday August 19th for a scout day with C35. Players ranged from the 2022-2025 grad classes.
The evening began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by Pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen of 15-20 pitches with Trackman gathering advanced analytics. After the bullpens the position players ran a laser timed 60, followed by batting practice with Trackman gathering ball flight data. Due to rain and storms passing through, batting practice had to be moved indoors.
