Sammy Esposito
PBR SC Director of Scouting

On Sunday, May 29th PBR of South Carolina hosted trials for Team Carolina at Charleston Southern University in Charleston, SC. The Team Carolina Trials leads to identifying prospects for some of the summer’s biggest invite only events like NC/SC Border Battle, PBR Southeast Senior Games, Top Prospect Games, and the PBR Future Games. The event featured players from the 2023-2027 grad classes. 

The event began with A pro-style workout for all the position players followed that included running a laser timed 60 and also had jumping metrics recorded using Swift Technology, BP with TrackMan ball flight analysis, a defensive evaluation, and finished with pitcher bullpens with each pitch tracked by Trackman and with a stalker radar gun.  

Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance looking at the top performers in different categories.  Look for more statistics and information to follow in the coming days.
