Competitive Edge Scout Day: Pitcher Data Dive
September 28, 2023
On Sunday, September 17th, the PBR Missouri staff traveled to Platte County HS to host the Competitive Edge Scout Day. This event featured 45 players from the Competitive Edge travel program, representing the 2025-to-2027 grad classes, that participated in a pro-style workout in front of our staff. Players gathered unrivaled data with the help of our tech partners, collecting measurables, video, and scouting analysis from our staff in the process.

After the event, our staff highlighted some of the day's stat leaders from this event within our traditional 'Stat Story', which you can find HERE. Then, with the help of TrackMan and Blast Motion, we took a look at some of the batted ball and swing metric standouts from this event, which you can find HERE.
Now, to wrap up our post-event content, we're going to shine some light on several of the day's arms who showed well from a metric standpoint. With our partners at TrackMan, we're able to identify some of the underlying numbers unseen by the naked eye that help describe pitch profiles at a more accurate rate.
