TrackMan Hitting Leaders: Dirtbags Fall Scout Day


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Scouting Director

PBR of North Carolina went just across the border to Danville, VA to run a PBR Scout Day with the Dirtbags.  A small group of Dirtbag players attended but it gave PBR scouts a chance to know the players in attendance and walk many of them through their first PBR Event.

Below we will highlight players that attended the event.  For the full roster and stat package you can click HERE.

TrackMan Hitting Leaders

PEAK EXIT VELOCITY

TrackMan is able to track every ball hit into fair territory, throughout the BP sessions.  Below are the exit velocities produced by individual players.

AVERAGE EXIT VELOCITY

The average exit velocity measures a players ability to consistently produce hard contact.  The average was taken based on every ball tracked by TrackMan throughout the player's BP session.

DISTANCE OFF THE BAT

TrackMan is able to measure and track the ball while in the air.  For every fair ball put in play it will display the distance the hit traveled.


Peak Distance - Best of the Hitter’s Session



Average Distance - Average of each ball tracked in the Session



SWEET SPOT PERCENTAGE

TrackMan is able to track and follow how hard the ball is hit as well as the angle off the bat. With this information, TrackMan has deduced the Sweet Spot as batted balls hit with a launch angle of 8 - 32 degrees.

LAUNCH ANGLE PERCENTAGE

Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball.  While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
