On Sunday November 12th PBR of South Carolina was on hand at Brookland Cayce High School for our rising stars ID. The event featured players from the 2028-2029 grad classes.

The afternoon started with players running a laser timed 60 while using swift timing gates to measure their 10 yd/ 30 yd/ and 60 yd split, followed by batting practice in the incredible indoor facility with Trackman collecting ball flight data.  After batting practice players when through defensive evaluations, followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting data analytics. 

Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance.

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.
