Top Prospect Games: Underclass -- Stats Leader Board
November 1, 2023
On Sunday October 28th, PBR was at NC State's Dail Park to host the Top Prospect Games: Underclass. The event featured perhaps the most talented underclass field of talent that PBR has put together for one event. With over 50 of the top players in the state on one field, we thought we would have a great day... and we did.
The day opened with the position players going through some athletic testing with Swift Athletics. Players had the chance to run on a laser timed 60 yard on turf. With Swift, PBR Scouts were able to collect the 60yd time, plus a 10yd split and a 30yd split. With younger athletes, the 10yd and 30yd give a great glimpse and a players explosiveness out of the gate and a top end run speed, even if they cannot maintain that top end speed through the 60 yd course. Players also went through some jumping test with Swift. Players were tested in the vertcial jump as well as a 4-jump RSI.
Following the athletic testing, each hitter took multiple rounds of BP. During BP, TrackMan was used to get ball flight information off the bat. BLAST sensors were used to get readings on each hitter with their swing prior to contact. Following BP, players went through a defensive workout at their primary defensive positions with PBR scouts taking metrics on arm strength.
After the player workouts, the event concluded with two controlled scrimmages. Pitchers threw to live hitters in game situations that were controlled by PBR Scouts. While the workout gives PBR Scouts and coaches a lot of information to digest, the game setting allows players to continue to show their skill set and to apply their tools in a competitive fashion.
