Trackman Leaders: USA Prime ID - Hitters

November 28, 2022
Matt Payne
Director of Scouting, PBR of NC

PBR was on hand on November 12, 2022 at High Point University for the USA Prime Organizational ID. The event, organized and run by USA Prime, allowed the organization to ID players for their future rosters. PBR was on hand to collect stats on the high school players that participated.

PBR runs a Scout Day for USA Prime each summer. The Organizational ID is an opportunity for the USA Prime players, and others in attendance, to update their stats on their PBR Profile. Players can continue to see how their developmental process, and strength and conditioning plan, is paying off on the field.

Pitchers threw controlled bullpens to open up the workout. Radar guns were used to collect data on each pitcher in attendance. Offensive players went through a pro-style workout, running a laser timed 60, taking live BP on field, and then working out at their defensive positions. Below we take a peak at the leaders from the workout. CLICK HERE to see the full schedule and statistical output from the workout.

USA PRIME ORG ID - Trackman hitters

PEAK EXIT VELOCITY

TrackMan is able to track every ball hit into fair territory, throughout the BP sessions. Below are the exit velocities produced by individual

AVERAGE EXIT VELOCITY

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.
