Statistical Breakdown: American Dream Baseball Scout Day


Matt Payne
Director of Scouting, PBR of NC

On Sunday November 20th PBR of North Carolina was on hand at Fuquay Varina High School for a Scout Day with American Dream Baseball. The Scout Day featured players from the 2024-2028 grad classes.

 The day began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight analytics. After the pitchers, position players ran a laser timed 10 yd and 60 yd sprint. After running players took batting practice on the field with Trackman gathering ball flight data. The day concluded with outfielders and infielders going through a defensive workout. 

Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
