Fall Campus Tour (CSI): Positional Data Dive
October 16, 2024
On Saturday, October 12th, the Prep Baseball Idaho staff hosted it's lone event of the fall season with the Fall Campus Tour: College of Southern Idaho at Skip Walker Stadium in Twin Falls, Idaho. This event featured roughly 14 players from the Twin Falls area in the 2025 - 2028 classes with all players running through a full workout alongside our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion and more. It was also a chance for unsigned upperclassmen to workout on-field infront of Golden Eagles staff.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Quick Hits articles. 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:

60-YARD DASH
TRACKMAN
EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)
EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)
Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.
BATTED BALL DISTANCE (MAX)
BATTED BALL DISTANCE (AVG.)
HARD HIT %
SWEET SPOT %
Sweet Spot %: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.
BLAST MOTION
HAND SPEED (AVG.)
Hand Speed: The observed 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 (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 (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.
