Tri-State Arsenal Underclass Scout Day: Quick Hitters-Pitchers


Matt Payne
Director of Scouting, PBR of NC

PBR was on hand in Benson, NC at Vyas Community Park on Saturday March, 13th for a scout day with the Tri-State Arsenal Underclass. The event featured 26 players from the 2024 and 2025 grad classes with most of the kids coming from the central to eastern part of the state. 

Position players got the day started going through their pro-style workout. Players ran a laser timed 60, followed by an offensive evaluation and defensive evaluation.  During live BP, TrackMan was able to gather ball flight information off the bat.  After the pro-style workout, pitchers threw a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering ball flight data.

Quick Hitters - Pitchers

Garrett Arnold, RHP, 2024

Attacked the bottom part of the zone during his bullpen. Arm is loose with quickness through a high ¾ slot. Creates some deception with hip and shoulder turn at the balance point. Fastball sat at 75-76 mph with run to his arm side. Fastball averaged 15.1 inches or horizontal movement. Has feel for his breaking ball at 64-67 mph with an average spin rate of 2062 rpms. Maintains arm speed on his changeup with fade at 69-70 mph. Should see jumps in velocity as he adds strength to his 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame. 

Shane Bernhardt, LHP, 2024

6-foot, 172-pound frame with some strength present. Athletic on the mound with looseness to his arm working through a high ¾ slot. Located his fastball to his arm side at 73-76 mph.
