Statistical Leaders: Bigger Than Baseball Tournament Scout Day
June 8, 2021
PBR was in Lake Wylie, SC on June 4th for the Bigger Than Baseball Tournament held at the new Field Day Park. Part of the tournament included an opportunity for position players to run through a full PBR Scout Day, collecting data from an offensive and defensive evaluation.
Position players began the day with a laser timed 60. The offensive evaluation included TrackMan capturing ball flight stats off the bat. All of the offensive work was conducted with wood bats. During the defensive workout, scouts were able to evaluate each player at their primary position.

TrackMan Max Exit Velocity (BP)
During BP, TrackMan tracked ball flight off the bat for every ball hit in fair territory. One element TrackMan is able to produce is the exit velocity at the bat's impact with the ball. Below are the top exit velocities recorded during BP.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Exit Velocity (max) |
1 | Armani Guzman | GA | Rabun Gap-Nacoohee | 2023 | SS | 96.1 mph |
2 | Isaias Moreno | NC | Combine Academy | 2024 | LHP | 93.8 mph |

10 | Paul Solari | SC | Nation Ford | 2023 | 1B | 88.6 mph |
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) |
1 | Armani Guzman | GA | Rabun Gap-Nacoohee | 2023 | SS | 361 ft |

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 | Isaias Moreno | NC | Combine Academy | 2024 | LHP | 78 |
2 | Juan Sanchez | NY | Tel-Com | 2022 | OF | 77 |

5 | Luke Keller | SC | Nation Ford | 2023 | 3B | 73 |
Positional Velocity - Outfielders
Outfielders worked out from right field, making throws to the 3B. 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 | Jake McCoy | SC | Catawba Ridge | 2023 | LHP | 89 |
2 | Ethan Wilson | SC | South Pointe | 2022 | OF | 87 |

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.
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Pop Time |
1 | Drew Endres | SC | Indian Land | 2022 | C | 2.04-2.15 |
2 | Daniel Durham | SC | Clover | 2024 | C | 2.18-2.37 |
3 | Rylee Ashworth | SC | Nation Ford | 2022 | C | 2.21-2.35 |
