Trackman Hitting Leaders: DPC Baseball Academy Scout Day
August 24, 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.

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.
