TrackMan Leaders: USA Prime Hitters
July 12, 2023
PBR was in High Point, NC on Monday July 3, 2023, at High Point Christian Academy’s home field to see the PBR Scout Day with USA Prime. Over 50 players from the 2024 - 2027 classes were on hand for the workout day.
The PBR Scout Day began with bullpens. Pitchers threw in a controlled environment while TrackMan was able to process analytics on each pitch thrown. The afternoon saw the position player workout. The day began with a 60 yard dash, including 10yd and 30 yd splits, followed by an offensive and defensive workout with evaluations.
Below we dive into the full workout with USA Prime. Continue to look for more information, stats, scout notes, and video on the players involved. CLICK HERE to see all of the stats and news around the USA Prime Scout Day with PBR.

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.
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.
