PBR was in Goldsboro on Tuesday October 24th for a Scout Day with Wayne Country Day.  Entering the 2024 season, the Chargers will have their eye on a potential run to another state championship.  This fall scout day gave PBR a peak at the talent and depth on the roster. 

The workout consisted of players in the 2024 through 2028 graduating classes. The day began with speed tests using Swift Athletic lasers.  Players ran a 60 with Swift Athletics collecting the 10yd split.  Players could then run a 30, again with the 10yd split timed as well. Following the running, players went through their offensive evaluation during BP.  After BP, players worked out at their defensive positions, again with PBR collecting stats and video on each player.

We break down some of what we saw duirng the Wayne Country Day School Scout Day below.  You can see the full roster from the workout, along all of the stats taken HERE.

TrackMan Leaders - Hitters

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.
