Player Evals: Diamon Deacons - Pitchers

PBR was in Kernersville, NC on Saturday September 5th for the PBR Scout Day of the Diamond Deacons. The Diamond Deacons program features players in the 2023 and 2024 classes, all living in the Triad Area of NC.
The PBR Scout Day consisted of a full pro-style workout for the position players. Position players ran a laser timed 60, followed by an offensive workout and a defensive workout. Pitchers faced live hitters in a controlled setting, showcasing their complete arsenal in a 15-20 pitch outing.
