Swift Athletics Leaders: Preseason All-State Central
March 2, 2023
On Saturday February 11th, PBR of North Carolina hosted its final Preseason All State Event of 2023 at the spacious Diamond Xtreme Facility in Kernersville, NC. The Preseason All State Events have become the premier winter event in NC featuring some of the top talent from across the state. The events feature players from the 2023-2026 grad classes.
The event began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting advanced data. Once the pitchers were done the position players ran a laser timed 30. After the running outfielders and infielders went through a defensive evaluation. The night concluded with players taking batting practice in the open cage with Trackman gathering ball flight analytics.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.

SWIFT JUMP TESTING
Players were able to test their vertical jump as well as an RSI jump. The Veritcal Jump gives Scouts an idea on the power and explosion an athlete possesses. The Vertical was performed without a step, meaning the athlete was standing still with two feet on the ground and then jumped.
The RSI Jump Test is testing an athlete’s ability to create explosion with quickness. With their hands on their hips, the athlete was instructed to jump as high as they can, four times in a row, without limited time on the ground. We want to see the athlete quickly get off the ground after each jump, and still create a solid vertical jump.
