PBR Florida Staff

The 2023 Senior State Games took place September 23-24 at Holman Stadium in Vero Beach, FL. The event featured players from the 2024-2025 classes participating in a pro-style workout and three games over the two day span in front of the PBR Florida Scouting Staff.

Inside today’s Position Player Data Dive we will highlight the players with top metrics per Trackman, Blast, and Swift Athletic Testing.

Monday, we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories in our Statistical Analysis. Today, we will take an even closer look at the position players in attendance with the help of our tech partners, broken down by the categories and leaderboards below.

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

1 Ben Abram FL Fleming Island 2024 3B 71.5 mph
2 Brennen Barczai FL Spanish River 2024 C 71.2 mph

9 Hudson Blank FL Merritt Island 2024 C 68.4 mph
10 Samuel Camacho Jr FL Miami Springs 2024 3B 68.3 mph

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.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (avg)
1 Jaden Garcia FL Oviedo 2024 1B 34.0 g

9 Hudson Blank FL Merritt Island 2024 C 20.2 g
10 Zain Diaco FL American Heritage Plantation 2024 C 20.2 g

Rotational Acceleration: Rotation measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotation is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly vs. pulling the bat with your hands. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to make a decision at the plate.
