Prep Baseball Scouts were on hand at DPC Baseball Academy in Clayton, NC on August 14th for the final open ID event of the summer, the Triangle Summer ID.  The event gave high school players a chance to update their stats, analytics, and video as their summer season comes to an end.  The event was run in conjunction with the DPC Scout Day at DPC Baseball Academy.  The facility allowed players a chance to run through a full workout on an outdoor facility with access to the indoor area as needed.

The day began with a laser timed 60 followed by an offensive rotation and evaluation.  TrackMan tracked ball flight throughout the multiple rounds of BP taken on the field.  Following BP, players worked out at their defensive positions.  Pitchers then threw controlled bullpens.  Each player filled their personal Prep Baseball Scout Day with a head shot, stats, advanced analytics, and there will be a full workout video added in the coming week to 10 days.

Triangle Summer ID:  Athletic Testing Leaders

60 Yard Dash Leaders

Swift Jump Testing- 

Players were able to test their vertical jump as well as an RSI jump.  The Vertical Jump gives Scouts an idea on the power and explosion an athlete possesses.  The Vertical was performed without a step, meaning the athlete was standing still with two feet on the ground and then jumped.  

The RSI Jump Test is testing an athlete’s ability to create explosion with quickness.  With their hands on their hips, the athlete was instructed to jump as high as they can, four times in a row, without limited time on the ground.  We want to see the athlete quickly get off the ground after each jump, and still create a solid vertical jump. The reactive strength index (RSI) describes the individual's capability to quickly change from an eccentric muscular contraction to a concentric one [1]. In other words, the RSI was created to assess the athlete's reactive strength

GRIP STRENGTH LEADERS 

Players are handed an instrument called a dynamometer, a handheld device that measures grip force in pounds. During the test, players are asked to hold the dynamometer in hand at their side in a relaxed position, raise it to a 90 degree angle, then squeeze it from there as hard as they can for a moment – and without shaking the device too much while their arm remains in that same position.
