Oxford Summer ID: Blast Motion Board

July 17, 2024

OXFORD, MS - The Oxford Summer ID was held on Wednesday, July 10th at The Farm in Oxford, MS. This event was an open event that consisted of prospects from the 2025-2027 classes across northern parts of Mississippi. These players went through extended 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 of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts from the Oxford Summer ID. 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.
