Prep Baseball Scouts were on hand at DPC Baseball Academy in Clayton, NC on August 14th for the final open ID event of the summer, the Triangle Summer ID.  The event gave high school players a chance to update their stats, analytics, and video as their summer season comes to an end.  The event was run in conjunction with the DPC Scout Day at DPC Baseball Academy.  The facility allowed players a chance to run through a full workout on an outdoor facility with access to the indoor area as needed.

The day began with a laser timed 60 followed by an offensive rotation and evaluation.  TrackMan tracked ball flight throughout the multiple rounds of BP taken on the field.  Following BP, players worked out at their defensive positions.  Pitchers then threw controlled bullpens.  Each player filled their personal Prep Baseball Scout Day with a head shot, stats, advanced analytics, and there will be a full workout video added in the coming week to 10 days.

Triangle Summer ID:  TrackMan Hitters

EXIT VELOCITY

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

Max Exit Velocity

Best Average Exit Velocity

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.
