PBR was in Davidson, NC on Saturday June 1, 2024, at Wilson Field home field to Davidson College . To see the PBR Scout Day with Queen City Corn Dogs. 9 players from the 2025-2027 classes were on hand for the workout day.

The day started with players running a laser timed  60. From there hitters took multiple rounds of BP with TrackMan tracking each ball put in fair play.  After the offensive evaluations, players were evaluated at their primary defensive positions.  To finish the day, pitchers threw controlled bullpens, again with TrackMan tracking each pitch and giving analytic data on each player.

Below we begin to break down the player performances from the workout.  To see the full roster with all of the stats from the workout, you can CLICK HERE.

FASTBALL STATS

Peak Velocity

Rank Name State School Class Pos Velocity (max)
1 Seth Sandock NC Union Academy 2025 RHP 80.0 mph
2 Ryan Brakstad SC Legion Collegiate Academy 2026 OF 79.3 mph
3 Tate Willis NC Northwest Cabarrus High 2027 C 75.3 mph


Average Effective Velocity

Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement.  With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.

Rank Name State School Class Pos Eff Velocity (avg)
1 Seth Sandock NC Union Academy 2025 RHP 78.7 mph
2 Ryan Brakstad SC Legion Collegiate Academy 2026 OF 78.6 mph
3 Tate Willis NC Northwest Cabarrus High 2027 C 72.8 mph


Peak Spin Rate

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Rate (max)
1 Seth Sandock NC Union Academy 2025 RHP 2012 rpm
2 Tate Willis NC Northwest Cabarrus High 2027 C 1980 rpm
3 Ryan Brakstad SC Legion Collegiate Academy 2026 OF 1978 rpm

2 Ryan Brakstad SC Legion Collegiate Academy 2026 OF 1897 rpm
3 Seth Sandock NC Union Academy 2025 RHP 1827 rpm


Average Induced Vertical Movement

Induced vertical movement tracks how the ball rides through the zone, or sinks through the zone.  For the purpose of this board we are tracking which fastballs showed the most ride, typically leading to more swing and miss opportunities

Rank Name State School Class Pos IVB (avg)
1 Ryan Brakstad SC Legion Collegiate Academy 2026 OF 14.5 in
2 Tate Willis NC Northwest Cabarrus High 2027 C 14.0 in
3 Seth Sandock NC Union Academy 2025 RHP 7.7 in


Average Horizontal Movement

Horizontal movement is often referred to as run.  This measurement does not distinguish between early and late movement, just the overall amount the ball tracks to the arm side out of the hand.

Rank Name State School Class Pos HM (avg)
1 Seth Sandock NC Union Academy 2025 RHP -5.1


Peak Spin Score

The Spin Score is a measurement linking velocity and spin.  It is calculated by dividing the spin rate by the velocity of each pitch.  

Rank Name State School Class Pos Spin Score (max)
1 Tate Willis NC Northwest Cabarrus High 2027 C 26
2 Seth Sandock NC Union Academy 2025 RHP 25
3 Ryan Brakstad SC Legion Collegiate Academy 2026 OF 25

This is a measurement of how much the ball drops from its original position and trajectory.  It does not measure how late the movement happens.  This can be referred to as depth on a breaking ball.
