Central Region Media Director, Area Scout

On Sunday, January 21st, the PBR Missouri staff traveled to Ozark, MO, to host the US Nationals & Affiliates Scout Day. This event featured 30+ players representing the 2024-to-2027 high school classes from Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

Those in attendance participated in a pro-style workout in front of our staff, gathering unrivaled data and measurables through the help of our tech partners. To see what our events offer, click HERE.

Earlier in the week, our staff rolled out the day’s statistical standouts in leaderboard format within our ‘Stat Story’, which you can find HERE. Then, we wrote up 20 of the day's standouts within our typical 'Quick Hits' piece, and you can find that by clicking HERE.

We'll wrap up our coverage from this event today within this 'Data Dive'. Continue reading below to see which players in attendance showed well from a batted ball and pitch metric perspective.
