With over 40 players in attendance, from the organization, the scout day included a 60 yard dash, offensive evaluations, defensive evaluations and controlled bullpens. TrackMan was used throughout the day to track ball flight off the bat and out of the hand during bullpens.

- 44 players from the 2022 - 2026 grad years participated
- 5 players ran sub-7.25 in the 60
- 11 arms posted a positional velocity of 75 mph or higher
- 4 catchers worked out with two below 2.20 on their pop times
- 5 hitters with an exit velocity of 90 mph or higher
- 347' was the top distance off the barrel during BP
- 81 mph was the top fastball on the day
- 2217 rpm was the top spin rate on a fastball
- 2462 rpm was the top spin rate on a breaking ball

Statistical Leaders
THE 60 YARD DASH
Players ran a hand timed 60 yard dash to start their day. The 60 was ran on a natural surface that probably played a little slow as it was a bit soft from the rain in Eastern NC over the past week.

TRACKMAN MAX EXIT VELOCITY (BP)
During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat. One element TrackMan is able to produce is the exit velocity. Below are the top Exit Velocities produced during live BP.

TRACKMAN MAX DISTANCE (BP)
During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat. One element TrackMan is able to produce is the distance each hit travels, if in fair territory. Below are the top max distances produced during live BP.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Distance (max) |
1 | Zamar Lewis | NC | East Bladen | 2023 | 1B | 347 ft |

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – INFIELDERS
Infielders were able to workout at shortstop throwing across the infield, or from 1B throwing to 2B and 3B in the pro-style workout. Coaches are working to evaluate rhythm, footwork, hands, exchanges, arm action, accuracy, and carry. To measure arm strength PBR Scouts utilize a radar gun. Below are the top posted positional velocities from the day.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | INF Velo |
1 | John Hamill | NC | Washington | 2022 | 2B | 76 |
2 | Teray Cherry | NC | JH Rose | 2022 | 3B | 73 |
3 | DeAndre Sellers | NC | Wilson Prep | 2025 | RHP | 72 |

4 | Kaden Ferrell | NC | Wilson Preparatory | 2024 | LHP | 70 |
5 | Conner Ferebee | NC | Bertie Early College | 2024 | SS | 69 |
POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS
Outfielders worked out from right field, making throws to the plate. Throws were measured by a radar gun to gauge arm strength. Scouts are also working to see exchange, arm path, carry, and accuracy.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | OF Velo |
1 | Christopher Peele | NC | South Central | 2022 | OF | 86 |
2 | Nehemiah Drew | NC | Southeast Raleigh Magnet | 2023 | OF | 85 |
3 | Savoi Edwards | NC | Lucy Ragsdale High | 2024 | OF | 81 |

5 | Justin Ellison | NC | Wilson Preparatory | 2023 | OF | 76 |
^ | Erik Rosas | NC | North Duplin | 2023 | RHP | 76 |
CATCHER POP TIMES & POSITIONAL VELOCITY
In the pro-style workout, catchers workout from behind home plate, making multiple throws to 2B, simulating a stolen base attempt. Scouts again are looking for a quick, clean transition to the release as well as carry and accuracy on the throw. For catchers, evaluators will put a stopwatch on the “pop time” or the time the ball hits their glove to the time the ball hits the MIF’s glove at 2B. Coaches can also time the transition from when the ball hits the catchers glove to when he is able to release his throw. PBR scouts add the radar gun to put a number on the arm strength out of the crouched position.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Pop Time |
1 | Daniel Paciullo | NC | South Central | 2022 | C | 2.13-2.19 |
2 | Luke Glisson | NC | South Central | 2022 | C | 2.18-2.47 |
3 | Austin Duff | NC | North Duplin | 2025 | C | 2.47-2.65 |
4 | Jackson Ipock | NC | New Bern | 2023 | 2B | 2.94-3.00 |
