Stat Leaders by Class: TPA Open ID


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Executive Director

On Sunday November 14th, PBR was on hand at Campbell's Jim Perry Stadium to help The Performance Academy (TPA) organize and run their PBR Fall ID.  The purpose of the ID is to allow TPA coaches and staff identify potential players for their program.  All players in attendance went through a modified pro-style workout with PBR Scouts collecting stats to update each player's PBR Profile.

The day began with pitchers and catchers.  The catcher went through a defensive workout, throwing their Pop Times, followed by pitchers throwing bullpens.  PBR Scouts were around each bullpen at Campbell as two pitchers threw in each bullpen at a time.  Velocities were recorded and scouts took notes on players.   Following the pitchers, position players went through an offensive rotation that included a quick round of BP on the field, multiple cage rotations, plus a laser timed 60.  Finally, the infielders and outfielders were able to workout from their position with arm velocities recorded as scouts noted each players performance.

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – INFIELDERS

Infielders were able to workout at shortstop throwing across the infield, or from 1B throwing to 2B and 3B in the pro-style workout.  Coaches are working to evaluate rhythm, footwork, hands, exchanges, arm action, accuracy, and carry.  To measure arm strength PBR Scouts utilize a radar gun.  Below are the top posted positional velocities from the day.

POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS

Outfielders worked out in the OF, simulating throws to a base.  Throws were measured by a radar gun to gauge arm strength.  Scouts are also working to see exchange, arm path, carry, and accuracy.

CATCHER POP TIMES & POSITIONAL VELOCITY

In the pro-style workout, catchers workout from behind home plate, making multiple throws to 2B, simulating a stolen base attempt.  Scouts again are looking for a quick, clean transition to the release as well as carry and accuracy on the throw.  For catchers, evaluators will put a stopwatch on the “pop time” or the time the ball hits their glove to the time the ball hits the MIF’s glove at 2B.  Coaches can also time the transition from when the ball hits the catchers glove to when he is able to release his throw.  PBR scouts add the radar gun to put a number on the arm strength out of the crouched position.
