Murfreesboro Summer ID: Blast Motion Board


Colin Chamblin
Deep South Operations & Area Scout

MURFREESBORO, TN - The Prep Baseball Tennessee Murfreesboro Summer ID was held on Tuesday, July 9th at Riverdale High School in Murfreesboro, TN. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan during a bullpen setting. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look at some of the standouts from the event. Below you will find scout notes and video on some of the top performers from the Chattanooga Summer ID.

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.
