Prep Baseball was at Moor Park in Mooresville, NC on October 17th for the Queen City Fall ID and the Dry Pond Scout Day.  Both events were run at the same time, allowing our scouting staff to see players in an athletic environment.  The Fall IDs are open to all high school players in North Carolina, while the Scout Days are organized and hosted by the organization.  

The day began with players going through their athletic testing.  Players ran a laser timed 60, with 10yd and 30yd splits. The Fall ID players followed the running with testing grip strength testing and vertical jump testing. Offensive evaluations were next, for all players, with players hitting off a Jr. Hack Attack, going through multiple rounds of BP.  TrackMan, and BLAST for the Fall ID players, 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.
