Statistical Analysis: Triad Prospect ID with Advanced Analytics
November 24, 2020
PBR was at Forbush High School on Saturday November 21st to host the Triad Prospect ID with Advanced Analytics. Sixty-two players were involved, running through a full pro-style workout.
The field at Forbush was in immaculate shape, giving the players a good opportunity to show off their skills in the workout setting. The day started with bullpens and catcher pop times. As the full roster of position players showed, the pro-style workout began with a laser timed 60, followed by an offensive evaluation and defensive evaluation. During the live BP, TrackMan was used to track ball flight and provide advanced info on each player. At the same time, Blast Motion sensors were used to give feedback on each hitters swing path and pre-contact analytics.
During the bullpens, at the outset of the workout, TrackMan was used to track ball flight out of the hand, giving feed back with advanced analytics as well as standard velocity readings.

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 | Dakota Mills | NC | Surry Central | 2022 | SS | 1.97-2.26 |
