CHARLOTTE, NC -- Prep Baseball NC was on hand at Palisades HS in Charlotte, NC on Sunday, May 24th for the Charlotte Baseball Academy Scout Day. The event was made possible by the CBA staff and their committment to generating exposure for their athletes. We appreciate their support of Prep Baseball North Carolina in our mission to promote players and help them achieve their goals of playing at the next level. During the event, position players worked out at their defensive positions, hit BP, ran a laser timed 60, and pitchers threw controlled bullpens.

VALD PERFORMANCE

TOP 60-YARD DASH

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10- and 30-yard splits, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.
