PBR of North Carolina was at Chapel Hill High School on Sunday June 4th for a Scout Day with the Canes Central group of the Canes Organization. The Scout Day featured players from the 2024-2027 grad classes.
The day began with catchers going through a defensive evaluation. After the catchers, pitchers threw a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight data on each pitch. Following the pitchers, the position players ran a laser timed 60 then took batting practice on the field with Trackman gathering ball flight information. The day concluded with outfielders and infielders going through a defensive evaluation.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.
