Utah Operations

On Tuesday, October 10th, the PBR Utah staff hosted the Salt Lake CC Scout Day on-campus at Cate Field in West Jordan, Utah. This event featured 44 players within the Bruins baseball program, both freshman and sophomores, and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth first look at the talent within the junior college program.

Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive.  Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top positional players with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

Body Rotation: A swing that has the appropriate relative contributions of body and bat rotations is an efficient and Powerful swing that maintains proper sequencing. An efficient baseball swing is one in which the body creates the initial movements, which is then transferred to the arms and out to the bat, thereby maximizing Bat Speed through this proximal-to-distal kinematic sequencing movement pattern.
