On Wednesday June 15th PBR of North Carolina was on hand at Ting Park for a Scout Day with the TPA Organization. The Scout Day featured players from the 2023-2026 Grad Classes.

The day started with catchers going through a defensive evaluation followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight information. Following the bullpens, players ran a laser timed 60 using swift technology. Position players then 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.

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.
