PBR was in Wilmington, NC on Saturday October 14th for a scout day with Team Beast NC.  The plan for the day included an indoor workout with some outdoor aspects at the Team Beast Facility.  The facility, beautiful and clean, allows players the ability to go through a full warm up and agility session.  It also houses a number of cages that can all be pulled back to give players a chance to do their defensive work.  We had planned to run and collect catcher pop times outside at the facility, but weather prevented a track that was safe enough for players to perform at top level so there were adjustments made to the plan.

The day began with timed 10yd bursts, using the Swift Athletic lasers.  Next, players went through a full offensive workout in an open cage area, allowing the ball to fly, with TrackMan recording the swings.  Defensive evaluations were next, followed by conrolled bullpen for the pitchers.

You can see the full roster and statistical output HERE.  In the coming days, we will continue to break down some of the players that attended this scout day on the coast.
