Las Vegas Rising Stars ID: Positional Data Dive
March 13, 2024
On Sunday, March 10th, the Prep Baseball Nevada staff hosted it's first Rising Stars ID of the season with the Las Vegas Rising Stars ID at Desert Oasis in Las Vegas, Nevada. This event featured roughly 28 players from the Las Vegas area in the 2028 and 2029 classes with all players running through a full workout alongside our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion and Swift Performance.
Rising Stars events serve as an introductory showcase for players and also serves as an identifier for Team Nevada in the Jr. Future Games Tournament in late July at Lakepoint Sports (Emerson, GA).
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

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.
