ABOUT BLAST MOTION:
Since the beginning of the summer, one of the important tools Prep Baseball Report has started to implement 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 DAY:
Top AVG Bat Speed: 74.04mph | 2022 3B Keaton Walker (Corona Del Sol)
Top PEAK Hand Speed: 24.59mph | 2023 C Tyler Davis (Mountain View)
On-Plane Efficiency: 86% | 2025 OF Tito Adelakun (Sandra Day O'Connor)
Rotational Acceleration: 20.46g | 2021 OF Josiah Kidd (Desert Ridge)
