PBR was at Heritage High School on Saturday November 14th to host a scout day for the Fungo CADET program.  Nineteen players were involved, running through a full pro-style workout.

Due to heavy rain throughout the week, the laser timed sixty was run on a nearby soccer field.  The grass surface was cut low, and while a little damp, played true.  Defensive workouts followed the sixties.  Catchers threw at the soccer facility with the full distance to 2B measured out, as well as the catching box measured to ensure accurate times.  Outfielders worked from the soccer field, simulating throws to the plate from 250' away, allowing scouts to gage carry and accuracy.  Infielders were able to workout from the shortstop area. The defensive workout was followed by the offensive evaluation.  TrackMan was used in the live BP to track ball flight.

After the pro-style workout, pitchers threw controlled bullpens.  TrackMan was used again to track ball flight out of the hand, giving feed back with advanced analytics as well as standard velocity readings.

Quick Hitters - Pitchers

 

Harrison Anthony (RHP, Garner Magnet HS, 2024) – Stretch only.  Stable over the rubber, reaching toward 2B as the hands separate.  Long arm path to a high-3/4 slot.  Average to slightly above arm speed.  Fastball peaked at 76, spinning up to 1959 rpm.  Hooks the breaking ball at release creating a hump out of the hand and rolling, downer action.

Lakin Greathouse (RHP, Granville Central HS, 2023) – Some length in a still maturing frame.  Better than average arm speed, with some cross-fire in his landing.  Over-the-top.  Athletic throughout.  Fastball up to 76.  Spins the breaking ball at 1987rpm with 11/5 tilt.  Big movement in the breaking ball, early and rolling out of the hand.  Showed fastball and breaking ball strikes.

Cody Hoelzle (RHP, Rolesville HS, 2024) – Lanky frame.   Long arm stroke to an over-the-top slot.  Average arm speed.  Fastball spun at 1982 with a peak velocity of 71.  Top to bottom breaking ball, soft at times, rolling out of the hand.  Elevated throughout with feel for the plate.
