Prep Baseball was at Trojan Field at FTCC Park on Thursday October 10th for the Fayetteville Fall ID.  Open to all high school players in North Carolina, the event drew a talented group of players for the workout session.  

The day began with players going through their athletic testing.  Players ran a laser timed 60, with 10yd and 30yd splits, followed by grip strength testing and vertical jump testing. Offensive evaluations were next with players hitting off a Jr. Hack Attack, going through multiple rounds of BP.  TrackMan and BLAST were used to get advanced metrics on each hitter's swing and the ball flight off the bat. Following the offensive session, players worked out at their defensive positions and then pitchers threw controlled bullpens.  The entire day was captured on video and player profiles will be updated with a highlight video of the workout.
