Okotoks Dawgs Scout Day: TrackMan Hitting Leaders
April 1, 2023
On Tuesday, March 28th, PBR Canada's staff headed to Okotoks to host our first ever Scout Day with the Okotoks Dawgs. We had roughly 70 players on hand from the 2023 - 2028 classes with 18 committed players on hand, including eight of them at the Division I level.
Not only was their plenty of committed talent on hand, but there was a slew of high-end uncommitted players in the upperclass group as well as some intriguing underclassmen who will be on the scene for several years to come. With the event now completed and stats populated, we will now break down everything we saw at the event with defensive leaderboards, TrackMan hitting and pitching leaders and Quick Hits which will provide scouting notes and video on the standouts.
Our TrackMan was utilized throughout the event for batting practice metrics, as well as bullpens to gather advanced data on players. Beyond that, players ran through defensive evaluations with positional velocities and pop-times recorded.
Below, we continue to break down everything from the event with a look at the top TrackMan hitting data and metrics from batting practice at the event.
