Top Prospect Games: Upperclass - Data Dive, Position Players
June 21, 2023
On June 13th, we hosted some of the top players in the 2024 class at LakePoint for the Top Prospect Games. This event featured nearly 75 prospects, predominantly from Georgia, and it provided our staff with an in-depth look at some high-follow players who were making their PBR event debut in the process.
Last week, 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.

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.
