I just mentioned the lack of standards to point out the differences between the Super 60 and regular state-run PBR events. Sometimes you'll find that the small events are a bit different, such as gathering exit velocity during BP or not denoting that the event was wood bat vs. metal bat.
Certainly the Super 60 used all the latest metric gatherings tools but it is quite different from a regular local PBR event. But that's my point--it IS different.
The PG National Showcase gathers metrics the same way as it does in other PG showcases. That's why you if didn't have an opportunity to attend a National event like the PG National you would still have accurate metrics to compare yourself against. Not so with the Super 60 if metrics were collected differently. Laser timed 60's vs stopwatch, etc.. All PG 60's are laser timed. I'm not saying advanced tools weren't used at the PG National (MLB scouts certainly had them) but the metrics posted are collected the same way as they are in regional events. For instance, the two people recording catcher velocity are standing in the same place (1st base side of pitcher's mound) using similar model radar guns. I've seen PBR collect the same metric from:
1. Behind the plate
2. Behind second base
3. An advanced device mounted between home and the mound in a direct line with second base (Super 60)
All three above can result in different metrics although I would say the Super 60's was the most accurate. You just can't really compare it to the other two collection types.
I know the Super 60 is a great event and it is well-run and uses great tools. The point of my earlier post was to show the sheer number of players that post similar or better numbers (many attended both events). That just shows how many talented players are out there! Not to mention the number of players that will "surface" later as can't-miss MLB prospects who never attended any showcase!
