PBR Scout Days allow North Carolina teams and organizations to spotlight their players with Prep Baseball Report.  Players are able to go through a full pro-style workout, posting analytical numbers and receiving notes and evaluations from PBR’s team of scouts.  Players also have the ability to add professionally cut video to their PBR Profile to further connect with the over 800 college coaches and universities that subscribe to PBR.

On September 11, 2019, PBR was on hand at Jack Hughes Park in Pineville, NC to watch players from the On Deck O’s program workout.  Position players ran a laser timed 60 yard dash, went through a full offensive evaluation, including having their exit velocity tested, and then went through a full defensive workout.  Pitchers were able to throw bullpens using the PitchLogic Baseball that records velocity and spin rates, as well as other analytical measurements on the arm swing, pitch release, and pitch movement.

Below we take our first look at the PBR Scout Day with On Deck and some “Quick Hitters” on players who made a quick initial impression on PBR Scouts.  In the coming days and week, PBR will continue to release information from the Scout Day, including the full statistical breakdown, and individual player evaluations and video.
