On Saturday January 14th 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 all over the country in the 2024-2028 grad classes. 

The day began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting advanced analytics. Once bullpens were complete, position players ran a laser timed 10 yd and 30 yd sprint. Position players then took BP with Trackman collecting ball flight data. The open atmosphere of Next Level allowed players, coaches and scouts to see ball flight off the bat. The night concluded with outfielders and infielders going through a defensive evaluation. 

Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance.
