PBR Scout Day: Charlotte MegaStars - Statistical Analysis
August 30, 2017
By Brandon Hall
North Carolina Director of Scouting
On Saturday August 26th, Prep Baseball Report ran a Scout Day for the Charlotte MegaStars program. The MegaStars are based out of the Charlotte, NC area, drawing players from the greater Charlotte area and extending their reach into the Triangle and into South Carolina. Forty-two players participated on the day, receiving updated statistics for their PBR profile, with an option to add an evaluation and video.
Two committed players in the program, Lucas Drumheller (2018, SS, Olympic HS), committed to Appalachian State, and Seth McAulay (2018, 1B, Hough HS), committed to Western Carolina, led the way in the workout. The biggest risers from the event may have belonged to the younger age groups. Noah Howie (2019, INF, Independence HS), Jack Stevens (2020, INF, Hibriten HS), and Ryan Brown (2019, C, Northwestern HS (SC)) head an impressive group of younger players to watch.
Each position player ran through a full pro-style workout, receiving a timed 60, an offensive workout, and a defensive workout. Bat speed and exit velocity were measured in a BP cage setting, while arm speed was measured from their primary position. Pitchers in attendance, through a controlled bullpen allowing PBR's staff to evaluate stuff and command.
