NC ProCase: Blast Leaderboard
February 21, 2022
Prep Baseball Report of North Carolina has become the most trusted independent scouting source in North Carolina, and across the country. Prep Baseball Report is used by all 30 Major League Baseball Organizations. Each year PBR or North Carolina host some of the top draft prospects in North Carolina. On Sunday February 13th held its ProCase at Diamond Xtreme in Kernersville, NC with top talent in the 2022 and 2023 Class working out in front of pro scouts.
Pitchers and catchers were up first. Catchers were able to go through a full defensive workout, throwing through to 2B at the spacious indoor facility. Pitchers threw controlled bullpens, one at a time, with Trackman gathering advanced analytics. Following the pitchers, hitters took live BP in the open atmosphere of Diamond Xtreme with Trackman gathering ball flight data. The event ended with the infielders and outfielders going through a defensive workout.
Located in Kernersville, Diamond Xtreme features a 90'x90' cage that allows for ground balls and throws across the infield. Catchers are able to make full length throws to 2B. During BP, scouts and coaches are able to watch and track the ball off the bat to get a better gauge of each hitter in attendance.
Below we take a look at the position players in attendance. All hitters hit with wood and put up impressive numbers.
