October 23, 2018

In mid-October, as many players are hitting their fall peak and looking forward to some downtime as the winter season approaches, Myers Park High School hosted a PBR Scout Day. The Scout Day featured 36 players from the 2019 – 2022 classes. 32 of the 36 players call Myers Park HS home.
Position players went through a full workout, including a laser timed 60 yard dash, an offensive evaluation in the cages and live on the field, as well as a defensive workout. Pitchers were able to throw controlled bullpens where their velocities and stuff were evaluated. As we begin to dive into the Scout Day, we will start with a look at the statistical information gathered from the day. Running speeds, exit velocities, arm velocities, pop time and more were all recorded giving coaches and scouts their first glimpse at this talented group of players.
The infielders from the workout included 7 players from the 2019 - 2021 classes. Each showed an ability to catch the baseball consistently. Several corner infielders showed pop with the bat in the cages and during their live BP. Players that worked out as infielders and pitchers will be featured later in a dual position article.
By The Numbers:
+ 36 players took part in the Scout Day
+ 14 pitchers threw controlled bullpens with Keener leading the way, bumping 88
+ 3 players ran sub 7.00 sixties on the laser timer with another 6 below 7.30.
+ 90 mph was the top exit velocity offensively with 2019 Evan Barbaryka and 2021 Jake Hasner each reaching the number.
+ 11 hitters flashed an exit velocity of 85 mph or better
