The Pee Dee Region Scout Day took place on December 4th at Florence Legion Stadium  in Florence, SC.  

The event began with a defensive evaluation for catchers, pitcher bullpens with each pitch tracked by Trackman.  A pro-style workout for all the position players followed that included the 60 yard dash, BP with TrackMan ball flight analysis, and a defensive evaluation. 

Below we will look at the quick hitters from some pitchers for the event.
