Gonzales, LA - The Impact Scout Day, our third Scout Day of the summer, was held on June 5, 2024, at St. Amant High School.  All players in attendance went through a pro-style workout that included running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Swift Performance, batting practice using Trackman, defensive evalutaions, and more.  Pitchers finished off the event by throwing bullpens, where they were able to receive their numbers and metrics off of Trackman, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement and much more.

We continue our post-event coverage with a look at some of the top hitting metrics with the help of Trackman Baseball.  Please continue to check back over the coming days, as we'll release additional post-event coverage of the 2024 Impact Scout Day.

Distance: This metric measures the estimated “carry flat” distance, measured in feet, meaning the distance that the ball travels before it lands, or would have landed if it were not caught or obstructed.

 

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.
