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.
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.
POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS
Outfielders worked out from right field and center field, making throws to the plate and third base. Throws were measured by a radar gun to gauge arm strength.
