TrackMan Leaders: DPC Baseball Academy Pitchers
August 25, 2023
On Wednesday August 16th PBR of North Carolina was on hand at the DPC Baseball Academy in Clayton, NC for a Scout Day with DPC Baseball. The Scout Day ran in conjunction with the Last Chance Summer ID. The Scout Day featured players from the 2025-2027 grad classes.
The day began with position players running a laser timed 60. After running the position players took live BP on the field with Trackman gathering advanced hitting data. Following BP players went through a defensive evaluation at their positions. The event 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.

Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement. With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.
