Top Prospect Games: Upperclass - Data Dive, Position Players


PBR Georgia
Staff

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.

10 Luke Miller GA Cartersville 2024 OF 22.1 mph

Hand Speed: The observed 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.

BAT SPEED (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Owen Primm GA Jefferson 2024 OF 79.9 mph
2 Eric Doyon GA Augusta Christian 2024 1B 76.6 mph
3 Matthew Pressnall GA Saint Francis 2024 2B 75.9 mph

9 Landon Moran GA Whitewater 2024 3B 73.2 mph
10 Aidan Larkin GA Cartersville 2024 SS 72.8 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 Eric Brown GA Lassiter 2024 OF 29.9 g
2 Wesley Hurt GA Cherokee 2024 OF 24.5 g
3 Talan Born GA West Forsyth 2024 SS 24.3 g

9 Caleb Miele GA Cherokee Bluff 2024 C 17.4 g
10 Matthew Bright GA North Paulding 2024 OF 17.3 g

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.
