Prep Baseball Report

Statistical Breakdown: North Carolina ProCase


Matt Payne
Director of Scouting, PBR of NC

Prep Baseball Report of North Carolina has become the most trusted independent scouting source in North Carolina, and across the country. Prep Baseball Report is used by all 30 Major League Baseball Organizations. Each year PBR of North Carolina hosts some of the top draft prospects in North Carolina. On Sunday February 12th PBR of North Carolina hosted its ProCase at Diamond Xtreme in Kernersville, NC with top talent in the 2023 and 2024 Classes working out in front of pro scouts. 

Pitchers and catchers were up first. Catchers were able to go through a full defensive workout, throwing through to 2B at the spacious indoor facility.  Pitchers threw controlled bullpens, one at a time, with Trackman gathering advanced analytics.  Following the pitchers, hitters took live BP in the open atmosphere of Diamond Xtreme with Trackman gathering ball flight data. The event ended with the infielders and outfielders going through a defensive workout and running a laser timed 30. 

Below we begin our breakdown of another talented ProCase in NC. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.

THE 30 YARD DASH

Ten players ran the 30 yard dash on the turf at Diamond Xtreme with PBR recording times off of the laser timer. 

TRACKMAN MAX EXIT VELOCITY (BP)

During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat.  One element TrackMan is able to produce is the exit velocity.  Below are the top Exit Velocities produced during live BP.

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – INFIELDERS

Infielders were able to simulate defensive plays inside the spacious Diamond Xtreme.  The infielder's workout consisted of five live ground balls, making throws across the diamond to first base. 

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS

Outfielders worked from a "would be" center field, making throws of close to 130 feet toward home plate.

As part of the workout, catchers were able to make a full length throw to 2B allowing scouts and coaches to record pop times and to get a positional velocity out of the crouch.
