Glendale Summer ID: Positional Data Dive
July 18, 2024
This past Tuesday, the Prep Baseball Arizona staff continued it's Summer Tour as we hosted the third of four Summer ID showcases with the Glendale Summer ID at Apollo High School in Glendale, Arizona. This event featured roughly 23 prospects from the 2025 - 2028 classes and allowed players to update their metrics and profiles following the high school season. Summer ID showcases also serve as identifiers for Invite-Only events throughout the rest of the calendar year.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. Now, we conclude our post-event coverage with a further in-depth look at the top positional players with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. 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.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Bat Speed (avg) |
1 | Gehrig Heil | AZ | Arcadia High School | 2025 | RHP | 72.0 mph |

ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
1 | Gehrig Heil | AZ | Arcadia High School | 2025 | RHP | 20.5 g |
2 | Austin Kirkpatrick | AZ | Casteel | 2025 | 3B | 14.5 g |

5 | Blake Gregory | AZ | Skyline High School | 2025 | C | 10.7 g |
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.
VIZUAL EDGE
EDGE SCORE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Edge Score |
1 | Robert Sindelar | AZ | Mountain Ridge High School | 2028 | 1B | 75.70 |
2 | Jose (Angel) Olivarez | AZ | Buena | 2025 | OF | 75.26 |

4 | Blake Gregory | AZ | Skyline High School | 2025 | C | 73.42 |
5 | Mateo Escontrias | AZ | Centennial | 2028 | SS | 71.90 |
The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.
The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
