Sammy Esposito
PBR SC Director of Scouting

On Tuesday October 10th PBR of South Carolina was on hand at Lexington County Ball Park Stadium for our ProCase. The event featured players from the 2024-2026 grad classes.

The evening started with catchers going through a defensive evaluation then pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting data analytics. After the bullpens, position players ran a laser timed 60 followed by outfielders and infielders going through a defensive evaluation.  BP on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data to finish the day.

Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance.
