PBR of North Carolina was on hand for a scout day with Catawba Valley Community College Pitchers threw a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight data. Position players ran 60, went through a defensive evaluation and took batting practice on the field with Trackman gathering data on each swing. Below we begin our breakdown of the players who took part in the workout. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.

Average Effective Velocity

Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement. With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.

Average Induced Vertical Movement

Induced vertical movement tracks how the ball rides through the zone, or sinks through the zone. For the purpose of this board we are tracking which fastballs showed the most ride, typically leading to more swing and miss opportunities

Average Horizontal Movement

Horizontal movement is often referred to as run. This measurement does not distinguish between early and late movement, just the overall amount the ball tracks to the arm side out of the hand.
