North Carolina Director of Scouting

On Saturday October 21st, over 20 players converged on Wilkes Central HS to show their skills in front of PBR staff and scouts. Each player in attendance ran through a complete pro-style workout, gathering verified statistics in the 60, from their defensive position, and on the offensive end of the game. Each player will also receive a complete PBR profile with an evaluation and video.

Colton Stotler (SS, 2020, West Wilkes HS) attending his second PBR event, continues to impress. Stotler turned in a sixty time of 7.00. Offensively, the switch hitter touched 90 mph from the left side off the barrel. Matthew Upchurch (OF/LHP, 2019, Lincoln Charter) showed well at a tournament event several weeks back, backing up that performance with solid numbers at the Scout Day. Upchurch ran a 7.18 sixty, showed arm strength from the OF at 83 mph, and on the bump, touching 84 mph. Physically imposing right handed hitters Royce Peterson (3B, 2018, Murphy HS) and Blake Weaver (1B, 2019, Erwin HS) led the way with exit velocities peaking at 93 mph and 92 mph respectively.
