Lafayette, LA - The Louisiana Top Prospect Games were held on Tuesday June 11 2024, at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette.  This was our third event of the summer and consisted of over 100 of the top prospects from the 2025-2027 high school classes.  

Today, with the help of one of our tech partners, Blast Motion, we continue our post-event coverage with a closer look at the top Blast Motion metrics and data from the position players in attendance at our Louisiana Top Prospect Games.

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.
