Trackman Hitting Leaders: NC ProCase
February 22, 2023
Prep Baseball Report of North Carolina has become the most trusted independent scouting source in North Carolina, and across the country. Prep Baseball Report is used by all 30 Major League Baseball Organizations. Each year PBR of North Carolina hosts some of the top draft prospects in North Carolina. On Sunday February 12th PBR of North Carolina hosted its ProCase at Diamond Xtreme in Kernersville, NC with top talent in the 2023 and 2024 Classes working out in front of pro scouts.
Pitchers and catchers were up first. Catchers were able to go through a full defensive workout, throwing through to 2B at the spacious indoor facility. Pitchers threw controlled bullpens, one at a time, with Trackman gathering advanced analytics. Following the pitchers, hitters took live BP in the open atmosphere of Diamond Xtreme with Trackman gathering ball flight data. The event ended with the infielders and outfielders going through a defensive workout and running a laser timed 30.
Below we begin our breakdown of another talented ProCase in NC. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
