NorCal ProCase: Blast Motion Leaders

New Episode LIVE now! At The Yard Podcast

LINCOLN, CA. - Players were put through an extended pro-style workout that included the 60-yard sprint, two rounds of batting practice, defensive workouts at respective positions, and concluded with a sim-game session for pitchers/hitters. Pitchers faced 3-4 live batters, each hitter had two at-bats.

There were representatives from at least a dozen of the MLB clubs, along with a half dozen college coaches in attendance. 

We will roll out positional breakdowns/reports in the coming days, but until then here is a look at the raw stats/data from the ProCase.

Peak Bat Speed

Bat Speed is the observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. For more info: Blast Bat Speed

Max Peak Hand Speed

Peak Hand Speed is the observed maximum 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. For more info: Peak Hand Speed

Average On-Plane Efficiency

Measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your vertical bat angle at contact establishes the plane for that swing. Plane is a great indicator for making more consistent contact on the barrel of the bat. For more info: On-Plane Efficiency

Ideal Efficiency %: 70% or Higher | Range: 65%-85%

Max Rotational Acceleration

Measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotation is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to adjust to pitch locations. For more info: Rotational Acceleration
