PBR Scout Day: CBA Copperheads - Statistical Leaders
August 28, 2018
Prep Baseball Report of North Carolina held a scout day with the CBA Copperheads on Saturday August 25th at Pfeiffer University. Thirty-one players, ranging in graduation years 2019 – 2022, worked out for PBR. The CBA Copperheads are based out of Concord and Lake Norman, just north of Charlotte. They run multiple teams ranging from high school showcase teams down to the youth level. Players and teams workout out of multiple fields and two indoor facilities.
Through the course of the workout, position players had the opportunity to run a laser timed 60, workout offensively in a cage setting and live on field, and then workout at their defensive position. Pitchers were able to throw controlled bullpens. The PBR staff was on hand to execute the day and record the stats on the players. Each player in attendance will receive an evaluation from the PBR staff, verified statistics, and a prospect video added to their PBR profile.
Several players put up impressive stats through their workout. Christian Thomas (Central Cabarrus HS), a 2020 OF, posted a 6.62 sixty time. Rudd Ulrich (Lake Norman HS, 2020, OF) was solid across the board with a 6.89 sixty, 86 mph positional velocity from the outfield, and an exit velocity of 87 mph off the bat. Three hitters posted exit velocities above 90 mph led by 2019 1B Derrick Sage (Erwin HS) with 98 mph off the barrel with wood. Below is a full look at the statistics from the day as well as leaders from several categories.
