PBR of NC continued its coverage of North Carolina on Tuesday September 1st with a full scout day with the South Charlotte Braves.  The Braves organization is based out of Charlotte, NC.  The workout featured 30 players from the organization taking part in a pro-style workout.

The workout included TrackMan gathering data on hitters and pitchers.  The day started with a laser timed 60.  The surface was a little soft from a heavy down pour the day before, creating times that may be slightly slower than if the players had run on a completely firm track.  Following the 60, players worked offensively, taking multiple rounds of live BP.  Defensively, players worked out from their primary positions for PBR Scouts.  Finally, pitchers threw controlled bullpens with TrackMan gathering all the ball flight data out of the hand.

We begin to break down the PBR Scout Day with a look at some of the statistics produced throughout the workout.
