TRACKMAN MAX EXIT VELOCITY (BP)
During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat. One element TrackMan is able to produce is the exit velocity. Below are the top Exit Velocities produced during live BP.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Exit Velocity (max) |
1 | Dylan Dampier | SC | Oceanside Collegiate | 2023 | OF | 94.0 mph |
2 | Andrew McLaughlin | SC | Ashley Ridge | 2024 | RHP | 91.7 mph |

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – INFIELDERS
Infielders were able to workout at shortstop throwing across the infield, or from 1B throwing to 2B and 3B in the pro-style workout. Coaches are working to evaluate rhythm, footwork, hands, exchanges, arm action, accuracy, and carry. To measure arm strength PBR Scouts utilize a radar gun. Below are the top posted positional velocities from the day.

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS
Outfielders worked out from right field, making throws to the plate. Throws were measured by a radar gun to gauge arm strength. Scouts are also working to see exchange, arm path, carry, and accuracy.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | OF Velo |
1 | Luke Palyok | SC | Wando | 2024 | CF | 82 |

CATCHER POP TIMES & POSITIONAL VELOCITY
In the pro-style workout, catchers workout from behind home plate, making multiple throws to 2B, simulating a stolen base attempt. Scouts again are looking for a quick, clean transition to the release as well as carry and accuracy on the throw. For catchers, evaluators will put a stopwatch on the “pop time” or the time the ball hits their glove to the time the ball hits the MIF’s glove at 2B. Coaches can also time the transition from when the ball hits the catchers glove to when he is able to release his throw. PBR scouts add the radar gun to put a number on the arm strength out of the crouched position.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Pop Time |
1 | Max Whitmer | SC | Wando High | 2025 | RHP | 2.20-2.33 |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | C Velo |
