PBR was on hand at Cuthbertson High School this past Friday - Sunday.  Friday featured position players in the organization going through a pro-style workout.  Saturday and Sunday saw teams from the SBA organization scrimmage one another with PBR scouts on hand to continue to collect stats and player information.

Below are some of the top stats collected from the workout and game settings.  CLICK HERE to see all the roster, stats, and numbers collected at the event.

 

SBA Org Workouts

 

THE 60 YARD DASH

Players ran a laser timed 60 yard dash to start the day. The 60 was ran on a natural surface. The track seemed to play fair throughout the workout.

 

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.

 

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.

 

CATCHER POP TIMES & POSITIONAL VELOCITY

In the pro-style workout, catchers workout from behind home plate, making multiple throws to 2B, simulating a stolen base attempt.  Scouts again are looking for a quick, clean transition to the release as well as carry and accuracy on the throw.  For catchers, evaluators will put a stopwatch on the “pop time” or the time the ball hits their glove to the time the ball hits the MIF’s glove at 2B.  Coaches can also time the transition from when the ball hits the catchers glove to when he is able to release his throw.  PBR scouts add the radar gun to put a number on the arm strength out of the crouched position.

 

Fastball Velocity - In Game

Pitchers threw in a controlled scrimmage vs. live hitters.  Below are the top registered fastballs from the coverage.
