Bigger Than Baseball Scout Day: Trackman Pitching Leaders
June 27, 2023
On Friday June 16th PBR or South Carolina was on hand at Catawba Ridge High school for a Scout Day with players from the Bigger Than Baseball Tournament. The Scout Day featured players from the 2024-2028 Grad Classes.
The day began with players going through a rotation that involved running a laser timed 60 and taking batting practice on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data. After batting practice, position players went through a defensive evaluation. The scout day concluded with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering information on each pitch.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
