Statistical Breakdown: Athletes Lab Scout Day


Matt Payne
Director of Scouting, PBR of NC

On Saturday January 28th PBR of North Carolina was at the Athletes Lab Performance Center in Maiden, NC for a Scout Day with the Alab Organization. The scout day featured players from the 2024-2027 grad classes. 

The day started with catcher, outfielders and infielders going through a defensive evaluation outside on the 100 yard turf field. Following the defensive evaluations players ran a laser timed 60 then headed indoors for batting practice. Trackman was used during the offensive evaluations collecting ball flight data. The day concluded with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering advanced analytics. 

Below we begin our breakdown of players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
