On Sunday February 5th PBR of North Carolina was on hand in Wilmington, NC for the Wilmington Preseason ID and a Scout Day with the Team Beast Organization. The day featured players from the 2023-2027 grad classes. 

The day began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight data. After the pitchers, players ran a laser timed 30 then infielders and outfielders went through a defensive workout. The day concluded with players taking batting practice with Trackman gathering advanced metrics. 

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

Statistical Breakdown

30 Yard Sprint

TRACKMAN MAX EXIT VELOCITY (BP)

During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat.  One element TrackMan is able to produce is the exit velocity.  Below are the top Exit Velocities produced during live BP.

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – INFIELDERS

Infielders were able to simulate defensive plays inside the open are of the Team Beast Facility.  The infielder's workout consisted five ground balls with the radar gun measuring arm velocity.

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS

Outfielders worked from a "would be" center field, making throws of close to a "would be" toward home plate.

CATCHER POSITIONAL VELOCITY & RELEASE TIMES

As part of the workout, catchers were able to make throws out of a crouch position in the 100ft range. Due to rain catchers were forced to workout inside, with not enough space for pop times coaches were able to use a stop watch to record release times. 

Player	Release Time

Colten Piner	.97-1.03
