Statistical Analysis: CVCC Scout Day
October 29, 2021
On Wednesday October 27th PBR of North Carolina was on hand in Hickory, NC for a Scout Day with Catawba Valley Community College.
The day began with pitchers throwing a controlled bullpen with Trackman gathering ball flight analytics. After the bullpens were complete, catchers went through a defensive evaluation followed by a laser timed 60, batting practice on the field with Trackman collecting ball flight data. The day concluded with outfielders and infielders going through a defensive evaluation.
Below we take a look at some of the numbers collected during the workout. Be on the lookout for more notes and information in the coming days.

TRACKMAN MAX DISTANCE (BP)
During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat. One element TrackMan is able to produce is the distance each hit travels, if in fair territory. Below are the top max distances produced during live BP.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Distance (max) |

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.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | INF Velo |
1 | Jackie Jimenez | NC | Catawba Valley | 2019 | C | 90 |
2 | Cole Cunningham | NC | Heritage | 2019 | 3B | 88 |
3 | Samuel Walker | NC | Northwest Cabarrus | 2019 | SS | 84 |
4 | Jose Vargas | NC | Hickory Ridge | 2019 | SS | 83 |
5 | Juan Moreno | NC | Catawba Valley | 2019 | SS | 80 |

^ | Kyle Raynor | SC | Indian Land | 2020 | 2B | 80 |
^ | Ilich Purcell | NC | Catawba Valley | 2019 | SS | 80 |
POSITIONAL VELOCITY – OUTFIELDERS
Outfielders worked out from right field, making throws to the plate. Throws were measured by a radar gun to gauge arm strength. Scouts are also working to see exchange, arm path, carry, and accuracy.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | OF Velo |
1 | Javier Rojas | NC | Catawba Valley | 2019 | OF | 93 |
2 | Sean Seale | NC | Home School | 2020 | OF | 90 |
3 | Zack Summerville | NC | North Gaston | 2019 | RHP | 88 |
4 | Max Hundley | NC | Northwood | 2018 | RHP | 87 |
5 | Troy Clary | NC | Davie County | 2020 | RHP | 85 |
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.
