The event featured players from the 2023-2027 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 looking at the top performers in different categories. Look for more statistics and information to follow in the coming days.

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.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hard Hit % |
1 | Dylan Kelly | NC | Lee County | 2023 | C | 53 % |
2 | Coleman McGinnis | NC | Eastern Alamance | 2023 | C | 44 % |
3 | Mason Moffett | NC | Wayne Country Day | 2023 | OF | 33 % |

5 | Nathan Bunch | NC | Athens Drive Magnet | 2024 | 1B | 22 % |
6 | Will Hicks | NC | Cleveland | 2025 | RHP | 20 % |
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.
