On Wednesday June 29th PBR of North Carolina was on hand at Williard Stadium on the campus of High Point University for a Scout Day with USA Prime.
The day started with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight information. Following the bullpens, players ran a laser timed 60 using swift technology. Position players then took batting practice on the field with Trackman gathering ball flight data. The day concluded with outfielders and infielders going through a defensive workout.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
