Trackman & Blast Leaderboard: Western Piedmont ID/Athletes Lab Scout Day


Matt Payne
Director of Scouting, PBR of NC

PBR was in Maiden, NC in Lincoln County on Thursday July 9th to host a scout day and run an open ID.  A fairly new facility, ALab operates out of a massive 33,000 sq foot facility that houses a full weight room, multiple short cages, a pitching area with 5 bullpens, as well as a fully open cage that measures approximately 120ft x 100ft.  The area allowed the players of the ALab and the Western Piedmont ID to run through a full pro-style workout for PBR scouts.

Position players in attendance were able to run a laser timed 30 followed by an offensive evaluation with TrackMan and Blast taking advanced analytics on the swing and ball flight.  Players then went through a defensive workout.  Pitchers were able to throw controlled bullpens for PBR as well.

Today we dive into the advanced analytics from TrackMan and Blast at the Scout Day.  Hitters were able to use each system giving feedback on their swing prior to ball strike with Blast, and on ball flight with TrackMan.  Below are the leaders from the Scout Day in several key areas.
