TrackMan Analysis: Knothole HBCU Camp


Brandon Hall
Executive Director of Scouting, PBR NC

PBR was on hand for the Knothole Foundation HBCU camp held at Tuckaseegee Park in Charlotte, NC on October 31st-November 1st. The event featured players from all over the country with several college coaches as well as pro scouts in attendance. Players went through a pro-style workout on Day 1 with Trackman being used during their batting practice rounds. Rain shortened day 2, but pitchers were able to throw controlled bullpens with Trackman being used to collect data. Highlighted below are position players who stood out during their pro-style workout. 

The Knothole Foundation is a non-profit foundation run out of the Charlotte, NC area.  From their website, the mission is stated as, "Knothole exists to provide quality recreation, education, connection and opportunity. Knothole's mission is to promote the sport of baseball in underserved communities and to create life opportunities for underserved youth by providing access to facilities, education, health and wellness, protocols, camps, clinics, and collegiate visibility."
