Trackman Leaderboard: CVCC Scout Day - Hitters

On Wednesday October 27th PBR of North Carolina was on hand in Hickory, NC for a Scout Day with Catawba Valley Community College. 

The day began with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering ball flight analytics. After the bullpens were complete, catchers went through a defensive evaluation followed by a laser timed 60, batting practice on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data. The day concluded with outfielders and infielders going through a defensive evaluation. 

Below we take a look at some of the numbers collected during the workout. Be on the lookout for more notes and information in the coming days.

TRACKMAN HITTING DATA

TRACKMAN LEADERS

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.

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.
