PBR Scout Days allow North Carolina teams and organizations to spotlight their players with Prep Baseball Report.  Players are able to go through a full pro-style workout, posting analytical numbers and receiving notes and evaluations from PBR’s team of scouts.  Players also have the ability to add professionally cut video to their PBR Profile to further connect with the over 800 college coaches and universities that subscribe to PBR.

On September 11, 2019, PBR was on hand at Jack Hughes Park in Pineville, NC to watch players from the On Deck O’s program workout.  Position players ran a laser timed 60 yard dash, went through a full offensive evaluation, including having their exit velocity tested, and then went through a full defensive workout.  Pitchers were able to throw bullpens using the PitchLogic Baseball that records velocity and spin rates, as well as other analytical measurements on the arm swing, pitch release, and pitch movement.

Below we take a look inside some of the numbers from the PBR Scout Day.  Leaders from the laser timed 60, positional throws, exit velocity, top fastball, and more are posted below.  The leader board will not tell the entire story, but it does give everyone a feel for some of the top performances from the PBR Scout Day.

Positional Velocity - Infielders

Eleven players worked out on the infield, making plays from shortstop or 1B and working to make "game-like" throws in the workout environment.  Three players showed carry at 80 mph or higher.  The median arm velocity was at 73 mph out of the hand.

 

Positional Velocity - Outfielders

Eight outfielders went through the positional workout, taking live fungo from right-field, making multiple throws to the plate.  PBR Scouts were able to evaluate approach, comfort through the catch, transition and exchange, as well as arm action, carry, and accuracy.  The top throw peaked at 84 mph out of the hand.  The median positional velocity from the outfield was 79 mph.

 

Catcher Pop Times & Positional Velocity

Nine catchers from the On Deck O's organization went through the defensive workout, making throws to 2B from behind the dish.  Arm strength, arm accuracy, carry are all evaluated, along with footwork and transition from the catch to the throw.  The median positional velocity out of the crouch was 71 mph.  The median pop time on throws to 2B came in at 2.26.

 

Exit Velocity

Part of the offensive workout included an exit velocity testing station.  On Deck players were able to record an exit velocity off of a tee, using a radar gun.  Eight players posted an exit velocity of 90mph or higher with another nine at 85 mph or higher.  The median exit velocity for the group of players ranging from 2020 - 2022 grads came in at 85 mph.

 

Max Fastball

Pitchers were able to throw controlled bullpens using the PitchLogic baseball to record velocity and spin rates, along with other key analytic tools.  Fourteen arms threw bullpens, showcasing their stuff, command, and mechanical setup.  The top fastball came in at 88 mph with a median fastball of 82 mph.
