Pee Dee Regional Scout Day: Trackman Hitting Leaders
December 14, 2023
On Saturday December 9th PBR of South Carolina was on hand at Florence Legion Stadium in Florence, SC for the Pee Dee Regional Scout Day. The event featured players from the 2024-2027 grad classes.
The day started with catchers going through defensive evaluations followed pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting data analytics. Next players ran a laser timed 60 measuring the players 10/30/60 yard splits, then BP on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data followed the defensive evaluations to finish the day.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance.

AVERAGE EXIT VELOCITY
The average exit velocity measures a players ability to consistently produce hard contact. The average was taken based on every ball tracked by TrackMan throughout the player's BP session.

TrackMan is able to measure and track the ball while in the air. For every fair ball put in play it will display the distance the hit traveled.
Peak Distance - Best of the Hitter’s Session
Average Distance - Average of each ball tracked in the Session
LAUNCH ANGLE PERCENTAGE
Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball. While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
