Player Evals - Uncommitted 2020-2021 Showcase II


Brandon Hall
Executive Director of Scouting, PBR NC

On June 23 and 24, PBR of North Caroline ran invite only events to continue to identify and promote uncommitted 2021 graduates.  Players attending the Uncommitted Showcase were able to go through a full pro-style workout, running a laser timed 60, working through an offensive evaluation, and a defensive evaluation.  Pitchers threw controlled bullpens for PBR Scouts. Each day was live streamed with over 60 colleges and university programs watching one, or both days of workouts through the PBR of NC channel on Watch Your Game's live streaming feed.

We continue to dive into all of the information gathered at the Uncommitted Showcase breaking down the players from the showcase at Louisburg JC.  Full evals with links to video are below.
