Carolinas Top of the Summer: Top Breaking Balls
September 30, 2021
PBR was working all summer to identify as many players for college coaches and pro scouts as possible throughout the summer of 2021. While the world was not completely back to normal, our scouting staff was able to attend PBR Events, PBR Tournaments, practices, games, workouts, and other events. With each event in the Carolinas, we will look back at some of the top performers from the summer of 2021

Throughout the summer, PBR scouts were on hand to capture stats, notes and video on players attending PBR events.

TrackMan is able to capture velocity, spin rate, break, and several other factors that key a top end breaking ball. Below are the top fastballs of the summer of 2021.
