PBR of North Carolina was on hand at Boshamer Stadium in Chapel Hill, NC on Wednesday October 5th for a Scout Day with the C35 Organization. The scout day featured players from the 2023-2027 grad classes. 

The evening began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation, followed by infielders and outfielders going through their defensive evaluations. While position players were going through their defensive workouts pitchers were in the bullpens throwing a controlled pen with Trackman collecting ball fight analytics. When players completed their defensive evaluations they ran a laser timed 60. After the defensive workouts and bullpens were completed players took live BP on the field with Trackman collecting data on each hitter.

Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more stories to follow in the days ahead.
