CSN Scout Day: Positional Data Dive
October 7, 2023
On Tuesday, October 3rd, the PBR Nevada staff travelled into Henderson to host our annual College of Southern Nevada Scout Day on campus at Morse Stadium. This event featured 17 players within the Coyotes baseball program, both freshman and sophomores, and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth first look at the talent within the junior college program.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. 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:

4 | Kyle Kiernan | Coronado | 2022 | OF | 92.5 mph |
5 | Colin Hushaw | Basic | 2022 | OF | 90.3 mph |
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)
Rank | Name | School | HS Grad Year | Pos | Distance (max) |
1 | Tyman Long | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | C | 417 ft |
2 | Mikey Cruz | Reno | 2024 | 1B | 369 ft |
3 | Keoni Young | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | 3B | 359 ft |
4 | Marcos Carrasco | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | SS | 332 ft |
5 | Kyle Kiernan | Coronado | 2022 | OF | 329 ft |

1 | Mikey Cruz | Reno | 2024 | 1B | 284 ft |
2 | Tyman Long | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | C | 277 ft |
3 | Marcos Carrasco | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | SS | 265 ft |
4 | Keoni Young | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | 3B | 262 ft |
5 | Colin Hushaw | Basic | 2022 | OF | 208 ft |
SWEET SPOT %
Rank | Name | School | HS Grad Year | Pos | Sweet Spot % |
1 | Tyman Long | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | C | 77 % |
^ | Mikey Cruz | Reno | 2024 | 1B | 77 % |
2 | Marcos Carrasco | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | SS | 72 % |
3 | Keoni Young | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | 3B | 63 % |
4 | Garrison Geis | College of Southern Nevada | 2024 | OF | 62 % |
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 | School | HS Grad Year | Pos | Hand Speed (avg) |
1 | Keoni Young | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | 3B | 21.4 mph |
2 | Tyman Long | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | C | 21.3 mph |
3 | Marcos Carrasco | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | SS | 20.7 mph |
4 | Colin Hushaw | Basic | 2022 | OF | 20.1 mph |
5 | Nicky Garritano | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | SS | 20.0 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 | School | HS Grad Year | Pos | Bat Speed (avg) |
1 | Tyman Long | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | C | 78.0 mph |
2 | Mikey Cruz | Reno | 2024 | 1B | 71.9 mph |
3 | Keoni Young | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | 3B | 69.8 mph |
4 | Kyle Kiernan | Coronado | 2022 | OF | 68.9 mph |
5 | Nicky Garritano | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | SS | 67.6 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 | School | HS Grad Year | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
1 | Keoni Young | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | 3B | 21.1 g |
2 | Marcos Carrasco | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | SS | 12.6 g |
3 | Tyman Long | College of Southern Nevada | 2022 | C | 12.0 g |
4 | Mikey Cruz | Reno | 2024 | 1B | 10.6 g |
5 | Garrison Geis | College of Southern Nevada | 2024 | OF | 9.8 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.
