PBR ran a PBR Scout Day for SBA Lake Norman on Monday November 18th.  A cooler night on a damp field did not deter the 2021 - 2023 players out of SBA Lake Norman.   Each player went through a full pro-style workout, minus the timed sixty due to the wet and soft field.  Players were able to work through multiple offensive stations including hitting live on the field for scouts in attendance.  Defensively, players worked out from their primary positions.  Pitchers threw controlled bullpens for PBR Scouts at the end of the night.

Below we begin to breakdown the players that attended the PBR Scout Day.  Today we unveil the primary catchers and outfielders in attendance.  Full evaluations include stats and links to each player's PBR Profile where video from the workout is housed as well.
