Oxford Summer ID: Data Dive, Positional Players
July 22, 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 data and metrics on the postional players from the event.

60-YARD DASH
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | 60-yd |
1 | Garrett Latham | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | LHP | 6.79 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.

BLAST MOTION
HAND SPEED (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hand Speed (avg) |
1 | Garrett Latham | MS | Lewisburg | 2026 | LHP | 22.5 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 |

ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
1 | Parker Skinner | MS | New Albany | 2026 | C | 22.8 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.
