PBR was at Ultimate Performance on Saturday June 20th to run the PBR Scout Day with the Charlotte MegaStars.  The day included players running through pro-style workout that included a laser timed 30 yard dash, offensive evaluations, and defensive evaluations.  Pitchers were able to throw a controlled bullpen for PBR Scouts.

In the coming weeks we will break down each player in attendance.  As the PBR scouting staff is beginning to take a full look at their notes and the information produced at the scout day, we will begin with the statistical leaders from the day.  Moving forward, there will be a look at some of the advanced analytics produced as well as video on each player at the workout.

Today we dive into some of the top position players in attendance at the Scout Day.  This is not meant to be a top prospect list, but a list of players that made a very quick impression on PBR Scouts.
