Calgary Blues Scout Day: Statistical Analysis

May 14, 2023
Cam Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, PBR Canada

On Friday, May 12th, PBR Alberta hosted its fourth Scout Day of the year, this time pairing up with the Calgary Blues program. The Calgary Blues Scout Day gave us a look at 28 players in the organization with players ranging from the 2023 - 2026 classes.

Scout Days allow our staff to get an in-depth look at players within a program, while allowing organizations to get complete metrics, testing, video and profiles for all of their players. Scout Days also provide an opportunity for players within the organization who attend to be invited to our marquee events such as the Future and Junior Future Games (Atlanta), West Coast Games (Las Vegas) and the PBR Western Canada ProCase (BC).

All players at the Blues Scout Day ran through a pro-style workout which included a 60-yard dash, defensive evaluation and velocities from all positions, as well as batting practice for hitters and bullpens for the arms while recording exit velocities and pitch velocities.

Below, we begin our post-event coverage with a look at the top metrics in all the different areas of the showcase.
