Zachary, LA - The Baton Rouge Summer ID, our third Open ID event of the summer, was held yesterday, June 25, 2024, at the Zachary Youth Park, home of the Zachary High Broncos.  All players in attendance ran a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, participated in batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, defensive evaluations, and pitchers ended the event by throwing bullpens, where they were able to obtain their metrics via Trackman.

We kick off off our post-event coverage with a look at some of the statistical leaders in different categories.  Please continue to check back over the coming days, as we'll release additional post-event coverage of the Baton Rouge Summer ID.

HAND SPEED (PEAK & AVERAGE)

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 (MAX & AVERAGE)

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 & AVERAGE)

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.
