Quick Hitters: East Coast Baseball Position Players
October 18, 2023
On Wednesday October 7th PBR of North Carolina was on hand at First Flight High School on the Outer Banks of NC for a Scout Day with East Coast Baseball. The Scout Day featured players from the 2024-2028 grad classes.
The day started with catchers going through a defensive workout, followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting ball flight data. After the pitchers, the position players ran a laser timed 60 then took BP on the field with Trackman gathering ball flight information. The night 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.
