Western Wisconsin Summer ID: Positional Data Dive
July 17, 2024
On July. 16th, The Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff hosted: The Western Wisconsin Summer ID. Perennially, this showcase helps introduce our staff to new need-to-know players in the state that we’d not yet seen before, as well as provided us with updated looks at players who’ve earned our attention in the past.
This week, we published our Quick Hits, and Statistical Analysis highlighting some of the top players from the event. Today, we will be looking at the top measurable data performers from the event, found below.

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.
VISUAL EDGE
A look at the top Vizual Edge scores from the event.
EDGE SCORE
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Edge Score |
1 | Max Dirks | WI | New Richmond | 2025 | 2B | 83.39 |
2 | Nolan Wysocki | WI | Bloomer | 2025 | OF | 83.06 |
3 | Derek Johnson | WI | Ellsworth | 2025 | 2B | 81.53 |
4 | Michael Curtice | MN | MATH AND SCIENCE ACADEMY | 2025 | LHP | 80.89 |
5 | Lucas Logslett | WI | Chippewa Falls | 2025 | SS | 78.88 |
6 | Gavin Klos | WI | Ellsworth | 2026 | SS | 77.66 |
7 | Elijah Tucker | WI | Bangor | 2025 | SS | 77.27 |

9 | Collin Crane | WI | Bloomer | 2025 | RHP | 76.66 |
10 | Devin Nedland | WI | Westby | 2025 | OF | 76.34 |
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.
