PBR was at Olympic High School in Charlotte to run a scout day for the Charlotte MegaStars.  During the event, players were run through a full pro-style workout, including a laser timed 60, defensive work at their primary position, cage time, producing an exit velocity, and live BP on the field. 

PBR scouts, as well as several college coaches, were on hand to collect the information and begin to put evaluations on the players present.  Select players will also receive a professionally edited video to their PBR Profile page. 

Today we break down the dual pitcher and position players from the event.  Each arm threw a controlled bullpen for the PBR scouts and college coaches in attendance.  Position players took part in a complete pro-style workout.  Full evaluations include their stats from the day.  Select players received a PBR video from the workout as well, and those can be seen by clicking on the player's name to get to their PBR Profile Page.
