On Saturday January 28th PBR of South Carolina was on hand at The Shipyard Park in Mount Pleasants for our Preseason All-State South Event. The event featured players from the 2023-2028 grad classes.

The day was split into two sessions.  The first sessions consisted of infielders and outfielders, and started with defensive evaluations followed by BP on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data.  the players ran a laser timed 60 during an offensive rotation. 

The second sessions consisted of pitchers, catchers, and dual players.  This sessions started with players running a laser timed 60, followed by pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman collecting data analytics, followed by defensive evaluations and finishing the day with BP on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data.
