Salt Lake CC Scout Day: Positional Data Dive
October 17, 2024
On Wednesday, October 9th, the Prep Baseball Utah staff hosted it's annual Scout Day with the Salt Lake CC Bruins, Salt Lake CC Scout Day, on-campus at Cate Field in West Jordan, Utah. This event featured roughly 27 players, both freshman and sophomores, within the Bruins baseball program and gave coaches a chance to collected updated TrackMan and Blast Motion data on their players, as well as positional velocities and run-times.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top pitching data performers from the event with our Pitching Data Dive articles. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:
