Brandon Hall
North Carolina Director of Scouting

As we wind down another great year, we begin to take a look back at 2018.  After drilling down into our google analytics, we have compiled a list of the twenty most viewed PBR profiles in North Carolina.  Beginning on December 17th and ending on December 30th, we will dive into the profiles that garnered the most hits in 2018.

The player profiles in PBR’s vast database received well over 7.5 million hits in 2018.  Players from each region in North Carolina drove coaches, scouts, and fans to their PBR profile to learn more.  Today we take a look at No. 5 in the 2018 countdown of the most viewed profiles from North Carolina

 

No. 5 – Preston Hall

College of Charleston commit is the 5th member of Team Carolina from the PBR Future Games to make the top 20 most viewed profiles of 2018.  A left handed hitter, Hall turned heads in Indianapolis and followed it up with a big weekend at a PBR tournament in Charleston, SC with his 5 Star NC program.  Hall joins a very talented Myers Park team this spring and PBR will continue to track and follow his progress.
