Statistical Analysis: The Performance Academy PBR Scout Day
June 21, 2019
Prep Baseball Report was at Ting Stadium in Holly Springs on Monday June 17th to run the PBR Scout Day with the Performance Academy (TPA). Coming off a busy weekend with several players competing in the State Games of NC, as well as several teams playing in tournaments, several players were limited but it did not stop the overall depth of the program from shining through.
Position players went through a full pro-style workout, running a laser timed 60 on the turf surface, followed by offensive evaluations, including multiple rounds of BP. During the defensive workout, PBR was able to measure arm strength from a player's position, while evaluating hands, feet, carry, and accuracy. After the position players, pitchers that were not restricted from their weekend work load were able to throw a controlled bullpen, showcasing their stuff for PBR scouts.
In the coming weeks, PBR will run a complete breakdown on the PBR Scout Day with TPA. Below is a look a the statistics compiled at the workout. To see the complete list of statistics, for each player in attendance, CLICK HERE.
