Stat Leaders: Open ID with TPA Powered by PBR


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Scouting Director

PBR scouts were on hand on Sunday August 14th at Campbell’s Jim Perry Stadium for an Open ID hosted by TPA.  PBR powered the event, ensuring the stats collected were accurate and verified. 


The day opened with pitchers throwing short, controlled bullpens.  Coaches and scouts used Stalker Radar Guns to capture pitch velocity throughout the bullpen sessions.  The second session of the day was for position players.  The position player workout included live BP, a defensive workout, and a timed 10/30/60yd dash captured by Swift Athletics Laser Timer.


Below we look at some of the top performers from the workout that featured close to 130 players.  The full roster and statistical output can be seen HERE.
