TrackMan Leaders: Cougars 2023 & Bulldog Hitters


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Executive Director

PBR was at South Iredell HS on Saturday November 6th to run a PBR Scout Day for two organizations.  The Cougars 2023 club combined with the Bulldogs organization to feature close to 30 players running through the pro-style workout.  The day started with pitchers and catchers going through their defensive work, with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen for PBR Scouts and TrackMan.  Following the bullpens, all offensive players took multiple rounds of BP followed by Infield and Outfield defensive work.

Below are dive into the numbers produced during the Scout Day.  The roster featured players from the 2022, 2023, 20224, and 2025 classes.

Hard Hit Percentage

TrackMan is able to track and follow exit velocities of each hitter.  Based on the individual's top exit velocity, TrackMan is able to give us a percentage of hard hit balls.  This percentage is based off of each individual hitter's top exit velocity.

Rank Name State School Class Pos Hard Hit %
1 Landon Reece NC Alexander Central 2022 3B 25 %
2 Easton Walker NC Crossroads Arts & Science Early College 2024 C 21 %
3 Nick Powell NC Lake Norman 2023 3B 9 %

Launch Angle Percentage

Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball.  While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
