PBR Midwest ProCase: Blast Hitting Leaderboard
February 26, 2021
The PBR Midwest ProCase was an opportunity for the top prospects in the 2021 draft class; including some select Juco and underclass players as well to showcase themselves to multiple MLB organizations in attendance. Scouts across the country are geared into the 2021 class and this event featured many of the top potential draft prospects in the Midwest.
Beginning this summer, Prep Baseball Report events across the country have been powered by TrackMan’s industry-leading Portable system and Blast Sensor technology to capture pinpoint accurate, actionable data from player performances. Prep Baseball Report, Trackman and Blast are dedicated to recognizing talent and unleashing their potential.
Using sensor technology that fits on the knob of a bat, without impeding the player, Blast Motion collected data to analyze every hitter’s swing. During batting practice, the Blast Motion sensors measured Swing and Impact Metrics across several categories. Swing metrics measure pre-impact mechanics centered around plane, connection, and rotation while Impact metrics measure pre-impact performance outcomes based on ball contact.
PBR was able to collect data on many uncommitted players around the states that is sharable with coaches & scouts as well as help players identify areas of development for the future.
