Quick Hitters: Western NC Prospect ID Position Players
November 11, 2020
PBR was at West Iredell HS on Saturday November 7th for an open prospect identification. At the same time, a PBR Scout Day was run as well. During the event, position players ran through a full pro-style workout including a laser timed 60. During the offensive portion of the event, Blast Motion and TrackMan were used to track pre-contact swing metrics and post-contact ball flight. At the conclusion of the pro-style workout, pitchers threw a controlled bullpen with TrackMan again, following ball flight out of the hand.
