West Tennessee Fall ID: Data Dive, Positional Players


Prep Baseball Tennessee Staff

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.

TRACKMAN

MAX EXIT VELOCITY

Rank Name State School Class Pos Exit Velocity (max)
1 Tommy Baker TN South Gibson 2026 OF 96.5 mph
2 Braydin Jones TN University School of Jackson 2027 SS 95.9 mph
3 Alex Page II TN Dyersburg 2026 C 91.5 mph
4 Brayden Holland TN Briarcrest Christian 2027 C 91.4 mph
5 Mason Woods TN Marshall Academy 2027 LHP 89.0 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.
