PBR was at Ting Park in Holly Springs, NC on Friday November 13th.  Players from the 2021 - 2024 age ranges were on hand to run through the workout for The Performance Academy.  PBR organized the night and helped to collect the numbers on each player in attendance.

Players began the night with offensive evaluations that included live BP, a laser timed 60 yard dash, and an exit velocity station.  Moving to the defensive portion, players worked out at their primary position with arm strength being evaluated by a radar gun.  Scouts were able to evaluate each player receiving and transitioning the ball as well.

Below we take a look at some of the leaders from each grad year from the event.  To see the full roster and statistics from the event CLICK HERE.
