On Saturday, Jan.8, the Tucson Preseason ID was hosted at Cienega High School. An open event for class of 2022-2025 graduates in the Tucson area. Talents were on display in front of the PBR Arizona staff, while data was being recorded by state-of-the-art technology. 

Today, we take a look at the data recorded for hitters on Blast Motion sensors. Our Blast Analysis contains data such as: hand speed, bat speed, rotational acceleration, and on plane efficiency.

Hand Speed (Peak & AVG)

Peak Hand Speed: The observed maximum 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 (Peak & 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 (Peak & 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.

On Plane Efficiency

On-Plane Efficiency: how consistently a player maintains their arm and wrist throughout the swing, or the percentage of the swing where the bat is on-plane.
