Statistical Analysis: Preseason All-State
February 1, 2021
Shipyard Park hosted PBR and a talented roster of players from across South Carolina on January 16th. A cool day with winds coming off the water, the players were able to showcase in front of PBR Scouts, Pro Scouts, and college coaches watching on the live stream.
The day featured a full pro-style workout with a laser timed 60, multiple rounds of BP, and defensive work from the player's primary position. During BP, TrackMan and Blast Motion were used to gather ball flight and pre-contact data on each hitter, giving coaches and scouts more information on each player. Pitchers finished up the day throwing a controlled bullpen with TrackMan collecting data on each pitch.

Statistical Leaders
THE 60 YARD DASH
Players ran a laser timed 60 yard dash at the outset of the day. The 60 was run on the artificial surface at Shipyard Park. The surface played true throughout the course of the 60 yards, with a decent cross wind at times. The median run time for the event came in at 7.30.

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.

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.

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.

1 | Jacob Jarrell | SC | P27 Academy | 2022 | C | 2.01-2.01 |
