The Southern California Future Games Tryout took place on June 6 with the goal of identifying talent to represent PBR California at the Future Games in Lake Point, Georgia.
Players were put through the traditional showcase split that included the 60-yard dash, BP, and a defensive workout using Trackman, Swift Performance Technologies, and more to measure every movement. After the evaluations, pitchers faced four batters each in one-on-one live at bats.
The leaderboards show scouts the whole package which helps them differentiate players. While numbers aren't the only thing that goes into the judgement of a player, they can sum up their strength and performance in tangible numbers. Trackman allows us to get a closer look at hitter's bat-speed and strength with exit velocity and their ability to lift the ball to greater distances.

Prep Baseball Report events across the country have been powered by TrackMan’s industry-leading Portable system to capture pinpoint accurate, actionable data from player performances. Prep Baseball Report and Trackman are dedicated to recognizing talent and unleashing their potential.
All hitters had a chance to be evaluated through our portable Trackman unit. Each player received a round of on the field BP where they were measured in key ball flight metrics. We were able to collect key ball flight metrics such as exit velocity, distance, launch angles, spray charts and much more.
PBR was able to collect data on many uncommitted players around the states that is sharable with coaches & scouts as well as help players identify areas of development for the future.
Exit Velocity
The velocity of the ball as soon as it releases from contact with the bat. This metric coupled with launch angle are the two most important implications for distance.
Peak Distance
This metric measures the farthest ball a player hit calculated by multiple other metrics.
