Prep Baseball Scouts were on hand at DPC Baseball Academy in Clayton, NC on August 14th for the Prep Baseball Scout Day with DPC Baseball. Players from the DPC program in the 2026, 2027, and 2028 grad classes went through the workout. The day began with a laser timed 60 followed by an offensive rotation and evaluation. TrackMan tracked ball flight throughout the multiple rounds of BP taken on the field. Following BP, players worked out at their defensive positions. Pitchers then threw controlled bullpens.
