2023 Texas State Games Data Dive: Position Players
October 2, 2023
TEXAS - On September 22nd-24th, we hosted the second annual PBR TX State Games at TCU & Weatherford College. The weekend kicked off Friday night under the lights at TCU. All position players went through a workout where they ran 60's, threw from their position and finished off the night taking BP. Saturday & Sunday consisted of three games each day where we collected TrackMan data on all pitchers. Today, we take a look at the top metrics put up by the position players

SYNCRO ATHLETIC TESTING
60-YARD DASH
10-YARD SPLIT
TRACKMAN
EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)
EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)
Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.
BATTED BALL DISTANCE (MAX)
SWEET SPOT%
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.)
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.)
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.)
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.
