Uncommitted Upperclass Prospect ID: Statistical Analysis
March 30, 2021
On Saturday March 28th PBR of NC held its Uncommitted Upperclass Prospect ID along with a Future Games ID at Big League Camp in Marion, NC. The Uncommitted Upperclass Prospect ID featured players from the 2021-2022 grad classes. Big League Camp is a beautiful facility located next to Lake James that features an all turf baseball field with a spacious indoor facility.
Pitchers and catchers got the day started with catchers going through their defensive workout followed by pitchers throwing their bullpens. Trackman was used during the bullpens to gather advanced analytics on each arm. After the bullpens position players ran a laser timed 60 followed by outfielders and infielders going through their defensive workout. BP was set to take place on the field but had to be moved indoors due to thunderstorms and heavy rain in the area. Trackman was used during BP to gather ball flight information.
Throughout the workout, PBR scouts were taking metrics on players while evaluating their complete skill set. Featured below are the Uncommitted Upperclass Prospect ID Statistical Leaders in several categories.
Uncommitted Upperclass Prospect ID by the Numbers
- 9 players went through the workout
- 2 players ran a 7.08 or better on the lasers
- 4 players had an exit velocity of 90 mph or higher
- 309’ was the longest ball hit
- 3 players had positional velocities of 80 mph or better
- 3 fastballs peaked at 85 mph or higher
- 2384 rpm was the top fastball spin rate
- 2357 rpm was the top curveball spin rate
Statistical Leaders
THE 60 YARD DASH
Players ran a laser timed 60 yard dash to start their day. The 60 was ran on an artificial surface.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | 60-yard |
1 | Fabian Walker | NC | Piedmont | 2022 | OF | 6.87 |
2 | Larson Scholtz | NC | Asheville | 2022 | RHP | 7.08 |
3 | John Miller | NC | North Carolina School of Math and Science | 2022 | OF | 7.28 |
4 | Ryan Fox | NC | South Caldwell | 2022 | RHP | 7.79 |
5 | Andrew Colaizzi | PA | Mercersburg Academy | 2021 | 1B | 8.16 |
TRACKMAN MAX EXIT VELOCITY (BP)
During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat. One element TrackMan is able to produce is the exit velocity. Below are the top Exit Velocities produced during live BP.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Exit Velocity (max) |
1 | Larson Scholtz | NC | Asheville | 2022 | RHP | 100.0 mph |
2 | Seth Billings | NC | West Wilkes | 2021 | RHP | 94.8 mph |
3 | Andrew Colaizzi | PA | Mercersburg Academy | 2021 | 1B | 93.0 mph |
4 | Fabian Walker | NC | Piedmont | 2022 | OF | 90.2 mph |
5 | Ryan Fox | NC | South Caldwell | 2022 | RHP | 85.6 mph |
TRACKMAN MAX DISTANCE (BP)
During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat. One element TrackMan is able to produce is the distance each hit travels, if in fair territory. Below are the top max distances produced during live BP.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Distance (max) |
1 | Ryan Fox | NC | South Caldwell | 2022 | RHP | 313 ft |
2 | Andrew Colaizzi | PA | Mercersburg Academy | 2021 | 1B | 309 ft |
3 | Fabian Walker | NC | Piedmont | 2022 | OF | 302 ft |
4 | Larson Scholtz | NC | Asheville | 2022 | RHP | 297 ft |
5 | Seth Billings | NC | West Wilkes | 2021 | RHP | 288 ft |
POSITIONAL VELOCITY – INFIELDERS
Infielders were able to workout at shortstop throwing across the infield, or from 1B throwing to 2B and 3B in the pro-style workout. Coaches are working to evaluate rhythm, footwork, hands, exchanges, arm action, accuracy, and carry. To measure arm strength PBR Scouts utilize a radar gun. Below are the top posted positional velocities from the day.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | INF Velo |
1 | Larson Scholtz | NC | Asheville | 2022 | RHP | 88 |
2 | John Miller | NC | North Carolina School of Math and Science | 2022 | OF | 73 |
3 | Andrew Colaizzi | PA | Mercersburg Academy | 2021 | 1B | 71 |
POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS
Outfielders worked out from right field, making throws to the plate. Throws were measured by a radar gun to gauge arm strength. Scouts are also working to see exchange, arm path, carry, and accuracy.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | OF Velo |
1 | Larson Scholtz | NC | Asheville | 2022 | RHP | 90 |
2 | Fabian Walker | NC | Piedmont | 2022 | OF | 81 |
3 | Ryan Fox | NC | South Caldwell | 2022 | RHP | 79 |
4 | John Miller | NC | North Carolina School of Math and Science | 2022 | OF | 76 |
5 | Seth Billings | NC | West Wilkes | 2021 | RHP | 72 |
TRACKMAN INFO - PITCHER BULLPENS
Pitchers threw a controlled bullpen showcasing their full arsenal of pitches. Velocity and spin rate information was gathered off of the TrackMan. TrackMan analytics are the official analytics and the velocities below were captured by TrackMan.
