Quick Hitters: East Coast Dodgers Position Players
February 23, 2022
On Saturday February 19th PBR of North Carolina was on hand at Next Level Training Center in Greenville, NC for a Scout Day with the East Coast Dodgers Organization. The scout day featured players from up and down the east coast in the 2022-2026 grad classes.
The day began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering ball flight analytics. After the pitchers and catchers the position players ran a laser timed 30 followed by live BP with Trackman collecting ball flight data, the open atmosphere of Next Level allowed for coaches to see ball flight off the bat. After batting practice infielders and outfielders went through a defensive evaluation.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance by looking at some of the players who stood out during the workout.
