On Tuesday, June 11th, Prep Baseball Washington staff hosted the Washington Rush Scout Day at Edmonds-Woodway High School. Featuring over 30 high school players, the event hosted talented prospects in the 2024-2027 graduating classes.

Prep Baseball events such as this Scout Day present a fantastic opportunity for high school players to showcase their talent. The summer showcase circuit regularly showcases standout performances, as players carry their momentum of playing high school and travel baseball into big gains, and are primed for updating their Prep Baseball Profile. Standout performances can lend the opportunity to secure invitations to some of the summer's biggest invite-only events such as the Pacific Northwest State Games, Prep Baseball Future Games, and more.

Earlier this week, we published our Statistical Analysis, where we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories. Next up, we will take a further in-depth look at both the positional player and pitching data, collected via Trackman and Blast.

60-YARD DASH

---

TRACKMAN HITTING

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.

TRACKMAN PITCHING

PEAK FB VELOCITY

EFFECTIVE FB VELOCITY AVG

Effective velocity is taking into account the velocity of each pitch, its release distance, the pitches time to the plate / hitting area, and the pitches movement.  With all of this information, Effective Velocity is allowing coaches and scouts to more accurately compare how a pitch is affecting a hitter.
