Pitching Analytics with TrackMan: P27 Scout Day


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Executive Director

PBR descended upon Lexington County Stadium on Friday March 12th to run a Scout Day with P27.  P27 is an academy with an emphasis on developing baseball players in the classroom and on the field, for the next stages in their playing career.  Several players from P27 were invited to the PBR ProCase.  Players attending the Scout Day did not attend the ProCase, but wanted the verified and trusted evaluation and numbers provided by PBR Scouts.

The day started with position players going through an offensive workout.  TrackMan was able to track ball flight off the bat throughout BP.  During the defensive portion of the day, P27 players worked out from their primary positions.  The final workout of the day saw pitchers throw controlled bullpens, again with TrackMan providing data on each pitch.
