Last week, Prep Baseball hosted the first ever Pacific Northwest State Games. This three day event held at Heritage High School in Vancouver, WA showcased some of the top talent the area has to offer. High school players invited from the 2025-2028 graduating classes competed in both workout-style and in-game settings. PBR's mission is for prospects to face high-level competition and gain as much exposure as possible, in order to truly determine the best of the best prospects in the PNW and help pave the way for playing baseball at the next level.

Earlier, we released our Statistical Analysis, where we showcased leaders in major statistical categories. Today, we unveil our Positional Data Dive, showcasing leaders in more complex position player data. For complete event rosters, statistical leaders, and other event information, click here.

TRACKMAN

EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)

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.

BATTED BALL DISTANCE (MAX)

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

PEAK 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.

PEAK 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.

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.
