On Saturday May 22nd, PBR converged onto Big League Camp in Marion, NC where the Upstate Mavs were hosting an organizational weekend.  Part of their organizational weekend was a PBR Scout Day, allowing their players to go through a full pro-style workout, posting numbers and receiving feedback.  Players attending the scout day will receive their stats, a video, advanced analytics from TrackMan, and an evaluation, all hosted on their PBR Profile page.

The day started with pitchers throwing controlled bullpens.  TrackMan was able to track ball flight and give in-depth stats on each arm that threw.  Following the pitchers, the position players ran a laser timed 60 and then went through offensive evaluations, again with TrackMan providing feedback.  The position players finished the day with their defensive workout. All players stats below were collected during the pro-style workout.  Each player will have his workout on video, posted to his profile page in the coming days.

TrackMan Leaders: Upstate Mavs Hitters

 

Peak Exit Speed

The top exit velocity off the bat during the live rounds of BP, as recorded by TrackMan

 

Average Exit Speed

The top average exit speeds from the event.  The average exit speed is taking into account all of the balls put into play by each hitter, that are recorded by TrackMan

 

Peak Distance Traveled

Measured off the bat, TrackMan is able to follow each hit, that is in fair territory.  Below are the hits that travelled the furtherest.

 

Average Distance Traveled

From all of the balls tracked off the bat by TrackMan these are the hitters that produced the highest average distance traveled of each of their balls put in play.

 

Hard Hit Percentage

TrackMan is able to track and follow exit velocities of each hitter.  Based on the individual's top exit velocity, TrackMan is able to give us a percentage of hard hit balls.  This percentage is based off of each individual hitter's top exit velocity.

 

Launch Angle Percentage

Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball.  While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
