July 15, 2022
On Wednesday July 6th PBR of North Carolina was on hand at Jim Perry Stadium on the campus of Campbell University for the Team Carolina Trials - East. The Team Carolina Trials leads to identifying prospects for some of the summer’s biggest invite only events like, PBR Southeast Senior Games, Top Prospect Games, and the PBR Future Games. The event featured players from the 2023-2026 grad classes.
The Day began with players running a laser timed 60 along with having jumping metrics recorded by Swift Technology. Position Players then took batting practice on the field with Trackman recording ball flight data. After BP, catchers, infielders and outfielders went through a defensive evaluation. The day concluded with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight data.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
