Boise Open: Blast Motion Leaders


Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

With the PBR Boise Open in the books, we now turn our focus to the post event coverage where we will be breaking down the events standout performances, positional statistical leaderboards and pitcher leaderboards. The PBR Boise Open gave us another glimpse of the talent in the Gem State with prospects showing present and projectable actions that prove that Idaho baseball is in good hands for years to come. Our goal from this event and upcoming PBR IDAHO EVENTS is out close the gap on recruitment throughout the state with the highest quality event right in your backyard. 

At the PBR Boise Open, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60 Times measured by Swift Syncro, Batting Practice measured by TrackMan, Catch Pop Time and Velocity, Outfield Evaluation and Velocity, Infield Evaluation and Velocity and Pitcher Bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.

Today, we highlight the standout statistical performances from the PBR Boise Open with the Pitching Stat Leaderboard.

BOISE OPEN: Blast Motion LEADERS

About Blast Motion:

One of the important tools Prep Baseball Report has implemented at its events is the use of Blast Motion sensors. During batting practice, the Blast Motion sensors measure Swing and Impact Metrics across several categories. Swing metrics measure pre-impact mechanics centered around plane, connection, and rotation while Impact metrics measure pre-impact performance outcomes based on ball contact.

HERE ARE THE TOP METRICS OF THE EVENT:

Top Peak Bat Speed: 77.4 mph | Logan Fettic - Bishop Kelly, 2023 (Uncommitted)

Top Average Bat Speed: 70.3 mph | Tommy Woodcock - Sugar Salem, 2024 (Uncommitted)

Top Peak Hand Speed: 25.3 mph | Diego Baker - Timberline, 2025 (Uncommitted)

Top Average Hand Speed: 24.7 mph | Sy Wong - Bishop Kelly, 2026 (Uncommitted)

On-Plane Efficiency: 91% | Diego Baker - Timberline, 2025 (Uncommitted)

Rotational Acceleration: 26.7 g | Isaiah Anzaldua - MIddleton, 2023 (Uncommitted)

Below will you find the swing & impact metrics from the event in four different categories (Top-10 listed):

______________________________________________________________

PEAK BAT SPEED

Bat Speed is the observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. For more info: Blast Bat Speed 

MLB Avg: 66-78 mph   MiLB: 63-75 mph   College: 66-75 mph

TOP AVERAGE BAT SPEED

______________________________________________________________

PEAK HAND SPEED

Peak Hand Speed is 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. For more info: Peak Hand Speed

MLB Avg: 23-29 mph MiLB Avg: 22-28 mph College Avg: 21-24 mph

TOP AVERAGE HAND SPEED

______________________________________________________________

ON PLANE EFFICIENCY

Measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your vertical bat angle at contact establishes the plane for that swing. Plane is a great indicator for making more consistent contact on the barrel of the bat. For more info: On Plane Efficiency

Ideal Efficiency %: 70% or Higher    Range: 65%-85%

______________________________________________________________

ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

Measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotation is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to adjust to pitch locations. For more info: Rotational Acceleration

MLB Avg: 16.8 g   MiLB Avg: 12.6 g   College Avg: 12.9 g
