Oxford Summer ID: Data Dive, Positional Players


Colin Chamblin
Deep South Operations & Area Scout

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 data and metrics on the postional players from the event.

SYNCRO ATHLETIC TESTING

60-YARD DASH

Rank Name State School Class Pos 60-yd
1 Garrett Latham MS Lewisburg 2026 LHP 6.79 s
2 Crews Albritton MS Tri-County Academy 2027 OF 6.82 s
3 Bryce Godown MS Tupelo 2027 OF 6.95 s
4 Tanner Brannigan MS TUPELO HIGH SCHOOL 2027 1B 7.09 s
5 Blake Little MS Starkville Academy 2026 2B 7.13 s

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

1 Mack Williams IV MS Clarksdale 2026 3B 88 %
2 Harper Newcomb MS Grenada 2027 2B 77 %
3 Crews Albritton MS Tri-County Academy 2027 OF 75 %
4 Eli Palmer MS Grenada 2026 1B 72 %
5 Miles Bailey MS Winona 2026 SS 66 %

Sweet Spot percentage: 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.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Hand Speed (avg)
1 Garrett Latham MS Lewisburg 2026 LHP 22.5 mph
2 Parker Skinner MS New Albany 2026 C 21.7 mph
3 Crews Albritton MS Tri-County Academy 2027 OF 21.6 mph
4 Preston Downs MS Grenada 2025 C 21.3 mph
5 William Mayo MS Oxford 2027 OF 21.1 mph

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.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Kaleb Bobo MS Tupelo 2027 1B 73.1 mph
2 Eli Palmer MS Grenada 2026 1B 72.8 mph
3 Preston Downs MS Grenada 2025 C 72.7 mph
4 Crews Albritton MS Tri-County Academy 2027 OF 71.7 mph
5 Hayes Algee MS Simpson County Academy 2027 RHP 70.8 mph

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.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (avg)
1 Parker Skinner MS New Albany 2026 C 22.8 g
2 Kaleb Bobo MS Tupelo 2027 1B 19.3 g
3 Garrett Latham MS Lewisburg 2026 LHP 18.5 g
4 Jacob Fears MS Tupelo 2027 2B 17.7 g
5 Nolan Bone MS Northpoint Christian 2025 2B 17.5 g

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.


VIZUAL EDGE

EDGE SCORES

Rank Name State School Class Pos Edge Score
1 Hayden Lee MS Grenada 2026 OF 82.79
2 Crews Albritton MS Tri-County Academy 2027 OF 81.33
3 Niles Lovelady MS Oxford 2026 1B 80.68
4 William Mayo MS Oxford 2027 OF 74.71
5 Caden Cole MS Warren Central 2027 SS 71.55

The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.

The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
