Player Evals: Summer Kickoff ID Position Players
June 16, 2020
Matt Payne
Director of Scouting, PBR of NC
Baseball was back in North Carolina on Sunday May 31st. With over 60 players in attendance, and the event being run in waves of approximately 10 players to promote social distancing, PBR Scouts were very impressed with some of the performances. The Summer Kickoff ID featured North Carolina's first full Tech event with TrackMan and Blast running throughout the event gathering advanced analytics and basic numbers on pitchers and hitters.
The entire event took place at Ultimate Performance in Matthews, NC. PBR has run several events out of this massive facility. The layout allows for catchers to make a full length throw to 2B, for outfielders to show off their arm strength with a 60 yard throw, and for infielders to work across a full length diamond. Offensively, the hitters are able to workout in a 60'x60' cage, seeing the ball fly off the barrel.
The day consisted of a pro-style workout. Pitchers were up first, throwing controlled bullpens with TrackMan gathering velocity, spin rate, release metrics and movement metrics. As the position players began their day, they ran a laser timed 30, took reps at their defensive position, and rolled through multiple offensive stations. For the position players, a radar gun was used to measure arm strength from their positions. The catchers were able to make full length throws to 2B so scouts could get pop times. As the hitters progressed to their offensive stations, they were able to collect a static exit velocity off of a tee and then during the live BP portion, Blast gathered pre-contact metrics like batspeed and rotational acceleration. Ball flight metrics like exit velocity, launch angle, distance, and hang time were collected by TrackMan.
Next up in the breakdown of the Summer Kickoff ID is a quick look at some of the position players that made a quick impression. While the PBR Scouting staff is still diving into all of the numbers from the event, these hitters created some buzz in the building with just eyes on them. The list of players that were impressive will grow as the analytics are published as well.
