Southern Athletics Scout Day: Trackman Pitching Leaders
June 26, 2023
On Thursday June 15th PBR or South Carolina was on hand at Presbyterian College for a Scout Day with Southern Athletics. The Scout Day featured players from the 2024-2027 Grad Classes.
The day began with players going through a rotation that involved running a laser timed 60 and taking batting practice on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data. After batting practice, position players went through a defensive evaluation. The scout day concluded with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering information on each pitch.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
