Sammy Esposito
PBR SC Director of Scouting

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.
