West Tennessee Fall ID: Data Dive, Positional Players
November 20, 2024
JACKSON, TN - The Prep Baseball West Tennessee Fall ID was held on Sunday, November 10th at Union University in Jackson, 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 simulated innings. 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 the event, we take a deep dive on the data and metrics on the position players from the West Tennessee Fall ID. Please be sure to continue to check back as we release other leaderboards from the event, along with the scouting reports on all players in attendance.

Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Exit Velocity (max) |
1 | Tommy Baker | TN | South Gibson | 2026 | OF | 96.5 mph |

HIGHEST AVG. EXIT VELOCITY
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Exit Velocity (avg) |
1 | Tommy Baker | TN | South Gibson | 2026 | OF | 90.8 mph |
2 | Braydin Jones | TN | University School of Jackson | 2027 | SS | 85.4 mph |
3 | Mason Woods | TN | Marshall Academy | 2027 | LHP | 84.0 mph |
Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of impact.
MAX BATTED DISTANCE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Distance (max) |
1 | Tommy Baker | TN | South Gibson | 2026 | OF | 341 ft |
2 | Braydin Jones | TN | University School of Jackson | 2027 | SS | 321 ft |
3 | Brayden Holland | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2027 | C | 303 ft |
HIGHEST SWEET SPOT%
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Sweet Spot % |
1 | AJ Hastings | TN | Jackson Christian | 2025 | OF | 85 % |
2 | Lanston Kent | MS | Saltillo | 2028 | SS | 77 % |
Sweet Spot percentage: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.
HIGHEST HARD-HIT%
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hard Hit % |
1 | Tommy Baker | TN | South Gibson | 2026 | OF | 57 % |
2 | Braydin Jones | TN | University School of Jackson | 2027 | SS | 21 % |
Hard Hit percentage: MLB's Statcast defines a 'hard-hit ball' as one hit with an exit velocity of 95 mph or higher, and a player's "hard-hit rate" is simply showing the percentage of batted balls that were hit at 95 mph or more. Balls hit above that 95 mph threshold is generally when the batted-ball results markedly improve.
BLAST MOTION
HIGHEST AVG. HAND SPEED
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hand Speed (avg) |
1 | Tommy Baker | TN | South Gibson | 2026 | OF | 22.1 mph |
2 | Connor McGarr | TN | Hume - Fogg | 2026 | C | 21.2 mph |
3 | AJ Hastings | TN | Jackson Christian | 2025 | OF | 21.1 mph |
4 | Mason Woods | TN | Marshall Academy | 2027 | LHP | 20.9 mph |
5 | Brayden Holland | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2027 | C | 20.7 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.
HIGHEST AVG. BAT SPEED
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Bat Speed (avg) |
1 | Tommy Baker | TN | South Gibson | 2026 | OF | 69.9 mph |
2 | Braydin Jones | TN | University School of Jackson | 2027 | SS | 68.4 mph |
3 | Brayden Holland | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2027 | C | 67.1 mph |
4 | Mason Woods | TN | Marshall Academy | 2027 | LHP | 66.6 mph |
5 | AJ Hastings | TN | Jackson Christian | 2025 | OF | 66.4 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.
HIGHEST AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
1 | Harrison McClain | TN | University School of Jackson | 2027 | OF | 22.5 g |
2 | Tommy Baker | TN | South Gibson | 2026 | OF | 17.2 g |
3 | Grey Buchanan | TN | Peabody | 2027 | OF | 14.1 g |
4 | Ethan Pardy | TN | Arlington | 2028 | C | 13.5 g |
5 | Alex Page II | TN | Dyersburg | 2026 | C | 13.4 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 | AJ Hastings | TN | Jackson Christian | 2025 | OF | 78.01 |
2 | Brayden Holland | TN | Briarcrest Christian | 2027 | C | 77.32 |
3 | Brian King II | TN | Bartlett | 2026 | OF | 76.87 |
4 | Harrison McClain | TN | University School of Jackson | 2027 | OF | 75.96 |
5 | Mason Woods | TN | Marshall Academy | 2027 | LHP | 72.70 |
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.
