PBR was in Davidson, NC on Saturday June 1, 2024, at Wilson Field home field to Davidson College . To see the PBR Scout Day with Queen City Corn Dogs. 9 players from the 2025-2027 classes were on hand for the workout day.
The day started with players running a laser timed 60. From there hitters took multiple rounds of BP with TrackMan tracking each ball put in fair play. After the offensive evaluations, players were evaluated at their primary defensive positions. To finish the day, pitchers threw controlled bullpens, again with TrackMan tracking each pitch and giving analytic data on each player.
Below we begin to break down the player performances from the workout. To see the full roster with all of the stats from the workout, you can CLICK HERE.

FASTBALL STATS
Peak Velocity
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Velocity (max) |
1 | Seth Sandock | NC | Union Academy | 2025 | RHP | 80.0 mph |
2 | Ryan Brakstad | SC | Legion Collegiate Academy | 2026 | OF | 79.3 mph |
3 | Tate Willis | NC | Northwest Cabarrus High | 2027 | C | 75.3 mph |
Average Effective Velocity
Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement. With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Eff Velocity (avg) |
1 | Seth Sandock | NC | Union Academy | 2025 | RHP | 78.7 mph |
2 | Ryan Brakstad | SC | Legion Collegiate Academy | 2026 | OF | 78.6 mph |
3 | Tate Willis | NC | Northwest Cabarrus High | 2027 | C | 72.8 mph |

3 | Seth Sandock | NC | Union Academy | 2025 | RHP | 1827 rpm |
Average Induced Vertical Movement
Induced vertical movement tracks how the ball rides through the zone, or sinks through the zone. For the purpose of this board we are tracking which fastballs showed the most ride, typically leading to more swing and miss opportunities
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | IVB (avg) |
1 | Ryan Brakstad | SC | Legion Collegiate Academy | 2026 | OF | 14.5 in |
2 | Tate Willis | NC | Northwest Cabarrus High | 2027 | C | 14.0 in |
3 | Seth Sandock | NC | Union Academy | 2025 | RHP | 7.7 in |
Average Horizontal Movement
Horizontal movement is often referred to as run. This measurement does not distinguish between early and late movement, just the overall amount the ball tracks to the arm side out of the hand.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | HM (avg) |
1 | Seth Sandock | NC | Union Academy | 2025 | RHP | -5.1 |
Peak Spin Score
The Spin Score is a measurement linking velocity and spin. It is calculated by dividing the spin rate by the velocity of each pitch.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Spin Score (max) |
1 | Tate Willis | NC | Northwest Cabarrus High | 2027 | C | 26 |
2 | Seth Sandock | NC | Union Academy | 2025 | RHP | 25 |
