2020 Preseason All-State Upperclass - Blast Metrics

Prep Baseball Report and Blast Motion, the leader in swing analysis, player development and improvement, announced a partnership last month that makes Blast the Official Swing Analysis Technology of Prep Baseball Report.

WHAT IS BLAST MOTION?

Blast Motion is a bat sensor that is placed on the knob of the bat and analyzes the swing, providing multiple metrics for every swing taken. Blast captures the data by the sensor picking up the vibration of the bat at impact when the hitter makes contact with the baseball. If there's no contact, the sensor won't read the swing.

Bat Speed

Bat Speed – is 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.

Name	Bat Speed
AJ Rausch	76.7
Michael McNamara	75.8
Robby Morgan	75.4
Max Caron	74.7
Lane Johnson	71.6

Rotational Acceleration

Rotational Acceleration – Rotational Acceleration measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotational Acceleration is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly vs. pulling the bat with your hands. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to make a decision at the plate.

Name	Rotational Acceleration
Max Caron	29.8
Cole Zak	27.2
Ryan Miller	23.2
Tyler Pettorini	21.4
Lane Johnson	20.7

On Plane Efficiency

On-Plane Efficiency – Measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your vertical bat angle at contact establishes the plane for that swing. Plane is a great indicator of making consistent contact and barreling balls.

Name	On Plane Efficiency %
Trey Willis	88
Max Caron	86
Tyler Pettorini	86
Sean Springer	84
Gianni Passarelli	83

Attack Angle

Attack Angle – is the angle of the bat’s path, at impact, relative to horizontal. A positive value indicates swinging up, and a negative value indicates swinging down, where zero is perfectly level.

Name	Attack Angle (deg)
Evan Wolf	27
Ryan Miller	19
Nick Compton	18
Lane Johnson	16
Fletcher Holquist	16
Michael McNamara	16
Jake Llaneza	16
Matthew Giberti	16

Early Connection

Early Connection – Early Connection measures the relationship between your body tilt and vertical bat angle at the start of the downswing. Establishing good connection (90 degrees) early in the swing helps you get on plane and increases your ability to adjust to all pitch locations.

Name	Early Connection (deg)
Will Carpenter	130
Robby Morgan	130
AJ Rausch	126
Joshua Qualls	120
Josh Laisure	118

Connection At Impact

Connection at Impact – Connection at impact measures the relationship between your body tilt and vertical bat angle at impact. Maintaining good connection (90 degrees) for all pitch locations is an indicator of dynamic adjustability.

Name	Connection At Impact (deg)
Joshua Qualls	102
Robby Morgan	101
Josh Laisure	97
Will Carpenter	95
Peter Jelenic	94
