Upperclass All-State Games: Blast Motion Board
February 19, 2022
On Sunday, Jan. 30th, the Arizona Upperclass Preseason All-State Games was hosted at Apollo High School with the top upperclass players across the State in attendance. Talents were on display in front of the PBR Arizona staff, while data was being recorded by state-of-the-art technology.
Today, our post event coverage continues as we analyze swing data collected from our Blast Motion sensors on site. We take a look at some of the top performers in each measurable collected via Blast Motion.

HAND SPEED (PEAK & AVG)
Peak Hand Speed: The observed maximum speed as measured on the handle of the bat (measured six inches from the knob of the bat). Peak Hand Speed will occur prior to the moment of impact, very close to the commit time in the swing when the wrists unhinge.
BAT SPEED (PEAK & AVG)
Bat Speed: The observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. The sweet spot of the bat is measured six inches from the tip of the bat.
ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (PEAK & AVG)
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.
