Fall Top Prospect Games: Blast Motion Board
October 24, 2024
EMERSON, GA - The Fall Top Prospect Games were held on Sunday October 20th at Doug Kingsmore Stadium at Clemson University. This event was an invite only event that consisted of prospects from the 2025-2027 classes across various parts of Georgia and South Carolina. These players went through a pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, and much more. Pitchers were able to throw in a bullpen setting and were able to get numbers and metrics via Trackman. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.
Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts from the Fall Top Prospect Games. Below, you can find the Blast Motion leaderboards from the event.

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.
