Seattle Senior Games: Data Dive


Josh Schoenberg
Scouting and Operations Assistant

On Sunday, September 24th, PBR Washington team hosted the Seattle Senior Games. The latest trip on our Fall Tour featuring prospects from the 2024 class, many of whom are uncommitted. 

Previously, we published our Quick Hits and Statistical Analysis from the event. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top positional players with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below: 

SYNCRO ATHLETIC TESTING

60-YARD DASH

peak rsi

RSI or ‘Reactive Strength Index’ is a simple division of the calculated Jump height by the previous contact time for that jump. This measure has no units, hence we call it an index. The higher the index, the better the jump.

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)


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.
