Trackman Hitting Leaders: Carolina Prospects - Hitters
June 15, 2023
On Saturday June 3rd PBR or North Carolina was on hand at Charlotte Latin for a Scout Day with the On Deck O’s, NCBA Golden Spikes and Carolina Prospects. The Scout Day featured players from the 2024-2026 Grad Classes.
The day began with players going through a rotation that involved running a laser timed 60 and taking batting practice on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data. After batting practice, position players went through a defensive evaluation. The scout day concluded with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering information on each pitch.
Below we begin our breakdown of the players in attendance. Look for more information to follow in the coming days.

HARD HIT PERCENTAGE
TrackMan is able to track and follow exit velocities of each hitter. Based on the individual's top exit velocity, TrackMan is able to give us a percentage of hard hit balls. This percentage is based off of each individual hitter's top exit velocity.
| Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hard Hit % |
| 1 | CJ Myers | SC | Cane Bay | 2024 | RHP | 37 % |
| 2 | Maxwell Nelms | SC | Bishop England | 2026 | OF | 30 % |
LAUNCH ANGLE PERCENTAGE
Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball. While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
