Quick Hitters: Rawlings Prospects Position Players
November 4, 2020
PBR was in Raleigh, NC on Wednesday October 28th at North Raleigh Christian Academy to run the PBR Scout Day with Rawlings Prospects NC, in conjunction with an Open Prospect ID. The event saw 34 prospects in attendance. The Rawlings Prospects draw a majority of their roster from the Trinagle Area of the state.
Position players kicked the day off with a full pro-style workout, including a laser timed 60 yard dash. The offensive evaluation included full ball flight data during live BP, with an exit velocity. Defensively, players worked out from their primary position, allowing coaches and scouts to get a full view of athleticism, arm strength, hands, feet, and accuracy on throws.
After the position players, pitchers in attendance went through a controlled bullpen. The bullpen included TrackMan gathering ball flight information from the release, including velocity, spin rates, and movement metrics.
