On Saturday June 3rd PBR or South Carolina was on hand at Lexington High School for a Scout Day with Canes South. The Scout Day featured players from the 2024-2027 Grad Classes.
The day began with players going through a rotation that involved running a laser timed 60 and taking batting practice on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data. After batting practice, position players went through a defensive evaluation. The scout day concluded with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering information on each pitch.
