Tucson Fall ID: Positional Data Dive
October 5, 2023
On Sunday, October 1st, the PBR Arizona staff hosted the Tucson Fall ID at Hi Corbett Field, home of the University of Arizona Wildcats baseball program in Tucson, Arizona. This event featured 21 uncommitted prospects from the 2024 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players in attendance.
Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis, Quick Hits and Pitching Data Dive. 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:

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.

HAND SPEED (AVG.)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hand Speed (avg) |
1 | Brady Mitchell | AZ | Canyon Del Oro High School | 2025 | OF | 21.8 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 | State | School | Class | Pos | Bat Speed (avg) |
1 | Brady Jeong | AZ | Catalina Foothills | 2025 | 3B | 73.3 mph |

4 | Henry Verhamme | AZ | Cactus Shadows High School | 2026 | SS | 70.6 mph |
5 | Brady Mitchell | AZ | Canyon Del Oro High School | 2025 | OF | 70.3 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 | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
1 | Max DeFrancesco | AZ | Perry | 2025 | 3B | 14.7 g |
2 | Michel Muniz Jr | AZ | Sunnyside | 2025 | C | 12.2 g |
3 | Brayden Hoyler | AZ | Canyon Del Oro High School | 2027 | SS | 11.0 g |
4 | Anthony Stannard | AZ | Marana | 2027 | 2B | 10.9 g |
5 | Jacob Johnson | AZ | Mica Mountain | 2025 | OF | 10.8 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.
VIZUAL EDGE
EDGE SCORE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Edge Score |
1 | Nathan Whitworth | AZ | Buena | 2025 | C | 82.88 |
2 | Anthony Milo | AZ | Salpointe Catholic | 2026 | 1B | 82.24 |
3 | Raydon Rocha | AZ | Mica Mountain High | 2026 | SS | 75.89 |
4 | Rowan Sparks | AZ | Salpointe Catholic School | 2025 | 1B | 75.59 |
5 | Dylan Lewis | AZ | Tanque Verde | 2025 | 2B | 74.01 |
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 Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
