This past Saturday, October 12th, the Prep Baseball Utah staff hosted it's annual Fall ID with the Northern Utah Fall ID at Ridgeline High School in Millville, Utah. This event featured 21 propsects in the 2025 - 2028 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players in attendance, as well as collected updated metrics and data.

Fall ID's serve as a final opportunity for players to update their metrics before the winter and are a first identifier for Invite-Only showcases in the early spring.

Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis article. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top position players and metrics with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

TRACKMAN

EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)

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 contact.

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)

BATTED BALL DISTANCE (MAX)

Distance: This metric measures how far the ball traveled, or would travel if it was not obstructed, measured in feet.

BATTED BALL DISTANCE (AVG.)

HARD HIT %

Hard Hit %: Percentage of batted balls with an exit velocity of 90 MPH or higher.

SWEET SPOT %

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.

BLAST MOTION

HAND SPEED (AVG.)

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.

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

BAT SPEED (AVG.)

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.

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

ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (AVG.)

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.

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