Prep Baseball Report

Statistical Leaders: KC Royals Scout Day


Sammy Esposito
PBR SC Director of Scouting

On Thursday July 11th Prep Baseball or South Carolina was on hand at Charleston Southern University for a Scout Day with players from KC Royals. The Scout Day featured players from the 2025-2028 Grad Classes. 

The day began with players going through a rotation that involved running a laser timed 60 and taking batting practice on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data. After batting practice, position players went through a defensive evaluation. The scout day concluded with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering information on each pitch. 

Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days. 

Below we will look at the statistical breakdown for the event.
