PBR continued its pursuit to identify the top players in the state of North Carolina on Thursday October 10, 2019 at War Memorial Stadium, home of the North Carolina A&T Aggies, as part of the College Campus ID.  Players in attendance were able to go through a full pro-style workout with PBR Scouts collecting stats, notes, and video.  In the coming days, PBR will post a full statistical breakdown as well as complete look at each player in attendance with video and an evaluation.

We continue our look at the College Campus ID from Greensboro with our catcher and outfielder evaluations.  Seven catchers and two outfielders went through the pro-style workout, working out from their primary positions and going through a full offensive evaluation.  The evaluation includes all of the player's numbers from the event and a link to his personal video hosted on his PBR Profile Page.
