Top Prospect Games: Vizual Edge Files
July 22, 2022
VIZUAL EDGE FILES
The Top Prospect Games was held on July 12th at Beautiful Pleasant Grove HS, in which the top INVITE ONLY event collected data from our world renown tech partners, Swift Technologies, Trackman Baseball, Blast Motion, Trackman Video. Vizual Edge has now become a staple at our many Utah based evetnt and as the Official Vision Evaluation and Training Technology of PBR, putting all position players through a visual skills baseline assessment. Vision plays a critical role in baseball, but there is much more than just 20/20. Over 80% of sensory information is visual, thus it is important to assess where an athlete's visual skills stand, which is done through the Vizual Edge online baseline test.

EDGE SCORE
The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.
The average top Edge Score for the 2021 MLB Draft Class was 80.0 (72% of hitters drafted in 2021 completed at least one Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 85.0 on their Edge Score.

TRACKING PERCENTILE
Tracking is another vital skill in baseball for hitting AND fielding. The Tracking exercise is scored based on response time and accuracy (just like the Recognition test) and tests a player's saccadic eye movements to locate a quick moving arrow and enter the correct response.
Players with better Tracking skills generally have a better ability to see a ball approach the plate, as well as react quick enough to identify the speed and distance of the ball as soon as it leaves an opponent's bat.

CONVERGENCE PERCENTILE
Arguably the most important visual skill in baseball, Convergence relates to a player's ability to focus on a pitch as it approaches the final 15-20 feet to the plate. Many top hitters in the MLB have elite Convergence scores, another attribute that helps separate them from average hitters.
Convergence has also been a skill that is linked to exit velocity. The maximum Convergence score on the assessment is 77

DIVERGENCE PERCENTILE
Similar to the scoring of Convergence, Divergence is also scored out of 77. Generally a more difficult skill compared to Convergence for baseball players, mainly due to the nature of the sport, Divergence focuses on the ability to locate objects from a distance.
Divergence plays a key role in early pitch and spin detection, as well as locating the ball out of the pitcher's hand.
Convergence and Divergence work in tandem to ensure a hitter can smoothly first identify/locate the ball from the pitcher's hand (Divergence) and be ready and track the ball all the way in as it approaches the plate (Convergence). The use of both of these skills simultaneously is called Alternating Flexibility, another key skill that is trainable with Vizual Edge.

RECOGNITION PERCENTILE
The Recognition test measures a players ability to view a sequence of three arrows that briefly flash across the screen and then quickly recite and enter the sequence they just viewed. This exercise is scored based on both response time (seconds) and accuracy (%).
At every level, especially with MLB hitters, players who have better Recognition scores generally have better plate discipline, as they are better at first accurately identifying a pitch type, but then also quicker to swing or lay off a pitch.
