Sammy Esposito
PBR SC Director of Scouting

On Tuesday, June 20th PBR of South Carolina hosted trials for Team Carolina and Rising Stars ID at K3 Sports Academy in Rock Hill, SC. The Team Carolina Trials and Rising Stars ID leads to identifying prospects for some of the summer’s biggest invite only events like PBR Southeast Senior Games, Top Prospect Games, PBR JR Future Games and the PBR Future Games. The event featured players from the 2024-2028 grad classes. 

The event began with A pro-style workout for all the position players followed that included running a laser timed 10/30 yard split recorded using Swift Technology, BP with TrackMan ball flight analysis, a defensive evaluation, and finished with pitcher bullpens with each pitch tracked by Trackman.

Below we will look at the statistical breakdown for the event.
