July 5, 2023
On Sunday, June 25th PBR Washington team hosted the Washington Summer Open. This open event was for high school classes 2024-26 and gave our staff the opportunity to watch nearly 20 uncommitted prospects in a showcase setting.
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:

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.
