Trackman Hitting Leaders: East Coast Baseball Scout Day
October 20, 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.

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 | Isaac Miles | NC | First Flight | 2024 | RHP | 33 % |
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.
