Nine to Know: Top Fastball Analytics from Recent Scout Days
November 11, 2020
Throughout the fall, PBR scouts have been across the state watching players and programs. One of the events offered to area programs is a PBR Scout Day. In the PBR Scout Day, PBR is able to evaluate players from each organization in a setting that is designed to see players at their best.
Today in Nine to Know we take a little different path from most weeks. Instead of diving deep on 9 players, we are taking a deep dive into multiple fastball statistical avenues with pitchers from recent scout days. In each statistical category, we will look at the top 9 performances from recent scout day.
Click on the name of the players in each category will take you to the player's full PBR Profile with stats and video available.
