Knoxville, TN - The BC Athletics Scout Day was held on Sunday, September 25th at Lindsey Nelson Stadium on the University of Tennessee campus. This event consisted of 40 prospects from the 2023-2025 classes. These players went through a pro-style workout and took batting practice using Trackman to record hitting metrics. Pitchers were able to throw in gameplay and were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Sunday.

Continuing our post-event coverage, we take a look back at some of the top performers and standouts from the each day. Tale the time to dive into the Stat Leaderboards and Trackman Files.
