State Games Of North Carolina: Trackman Pitching Data



By Brandon Hall

PBR North Carolina Director of Scouting

The State Games of North Carolina have come and gone… The final day produced two exciting medal games with Region 6 claiming the championship and dog piling just in front of the mound at USA Baseball’s National Training Complex. Below is a unique look at the State Games, through the eyes of Trackman. Trackman is software that is still fairly new to baseball, but the analytical value is growing with each game and event that Trackman is available to evaluate.

Each of the four fields at the USA Complex, in Cary, NC, is equipped with Trackman, allowing coaches, scouts, and Major League Baseball to collect data on every pitch thrown throughout the State Games. Today we will look at some of the pitch data collected, as Trackman ranks the best from the Games.
