NEW TECHNOLOGIES

All invite only events will have exclusive Trackman and Blast Motion data added to their profiles post event as well as an additional Driveline add-on that evaluates player performance for player development purposes. Trackman, Blast Motion, and Driveline are all the leading technologies and training assessment tools for player development in the baseball landscape. We cannot wait to roll out these add-ons to our events for the best possible player experience!

EVENT HOST

Finally, we are excited to announce that all three events will be hosted at Skylands Stadium in Augusta, N.J., home of the Professional Sussex County Miners baseball club, in the independent Frontier League. Skylands Stadium brings a stadium atmosphere to the top events PBR New Jersey has to offer this summer.

*Note: We realize these last few months have been difficult on a lot of people with the COVID-19 pandemic. For all events, we will be following state and local protocols regarding social distancing, sanitation, and outdoor gatherings. We are constantly evaluating the situation and will provide event attendees and parents consistent notification on changes with gathering protocols. At the time of this article publishing, we are in a state mandated 25-person limit for outdoor gatherings. The staff at PBR New Jersey is devoted to providing the best possible event under the circumstances. If the current protocols remain in place as the events approach, the staff at PBR New Jersey will segment check-in times and workouts to abide by the guidelines.

 

We look forward to seeing everyone at the ballpark this summer. Let's play ball!
