TrackMan Hitting Leaders: Dirtbags Fall Scout Day
November 10, 2023
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.
