Prep Baseball continued its summer evaluation season with multiple events at Broughton HS in Raleigh, NC on Saturday May 17th.  These scout days allowed Prep Baseball scouts a chance to evaluate close to 100 North Carolina prospects, hailing from 3 triangle area programs.  The SBA Coastal organization continued their tradition of giving their players a chance to update their player profiles with verified stats, analytics, and video.  Players with full Prep Baseball profiles are able to build a history for college coaches and pro scouts while connecting with over 1000 schools that subscribe and use Prep Baseball's resources daily. 

Players were run through a full pro-style workout with Prep Baseball Scouts recording stats, metrics, and evaluating the players throughout the evening.  The workout began with a laser timed 60 yard dash.  10 yard splits were recorded using the VALD laser timing system as well.  Hitters then went through multiple rounds of BP with TrackMan capturing ball flight data off the bat.  Defensive workouts followed with each player working out at their defensive position, showcasing movement, arm path, release, carry and accuracy.  The day finished with pitchers throwing bullpens where TrackMan was again recording the ball flight data out of the hand.

Prep Baseball will use this scout day as a "jumping off" point in our player coverage of Rawlings Prospects NC players.  Along with the workout coverage, players will be followed in game play through the summer, fall, and into the spring of 2026.  Players that go through these workouts are added to Prep Baseball's rankings database and will be considered for future rankings updates.  Players also qualify for consideration for prestigious Prep Baseball events like the Future Games, NC/SC Border Battle, Super Sophomore Games, and Top Prospect Games.

TrackMan Hitting Metrics: SBA Coastal

EXIT VELOCITY

TrackMan is able to track every ball hit into fair territory, throughout the BP sessions.  Below are the best exit velocities produced by individual players, by category.

Max Exit Velocity

Best Average Exit Velocity

DISTANCE OFF THE BAT

TrackMan is able to measure and track the ball while in the air.  For every fair ball put in play it will display the distance the hit traveled.

Peak Distance - Best of the Hitter’s Session

Average Distance - Average of each ball tracked in the Session

SWEET SPOT PERCENTAGE

TrackMan is able to track and follow how hard the ball is hit as well as the angle off the bat. With this information, TrackMan has deduced the Sweet Spot as batted balls hit with a launch angle of 8 - 32 degrees.

LAUNCH ANGLE PERCENTAGE

Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball.  While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
