PBR was on hand at JH Rose HS in Greenville, NC on Sunday September 20th to run a scout day for Precision Showcase Baseball.  With 35 players from the 2021-2024 classes in attendance, players ran through a full pro-style workout.  All uncommitted, several players put up some impressive numbers and will be follows throughout the fall season.

Each position player began their day with a laser timed 60 yard dash on the grass surface.  Even with all of the rain throughout the week, the JH Rose surface was in very good shape and produced solid times.  Offensive evaluations included an exit velocity off of the tee, as well as multiple rounds of live BP, with TrackMan collecting all batted ball information.  Defensively, players worked out from their primary position, showcasing athleticism and arm strength.  To conclude the day, pitchers faced live hitters in a controlled setting, again with TrackMan collecting all of the ball flight data out of the hand.

Below we highlight some of the position players who stood out throughout the pro-style workout.
