PNW Summer Opens Positional Data Dive
August 21, 2023
Throughout the 2023 summer circuit, the PBR Oregon staff ran eight open high school aged events ranging across the Pacific Northwest. With the summer coming to a close, we've decided to compile some of the noteworthy numbers from our summer events within this 'Data Dive'.
Below you will find stat leaders from our eight open summer events.

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

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.
