As we are beginning to wrap up 2023 and gear up for the 2024 Preseason, our Prep Baseball Mississippi Staff has decided to gather all the numbers and data from our successful event schedule in 2023 and compile a series of leaderboards.

All of the data for the following leaderboard is based on the information gathered from Prep Baseball Mississippi events such as, Preseason ID's, Preseason All-State, Rising Stars, Summer Open events, Invite-Only events and our Scout Days.

*Please note that there are out of state players who have attended Mississippi events such as the AL/MS Border Battle, Mid-South Preseason ID and more that will appear on different leaderboards.*

HAND SPEED (PEAK & AVERAGE)

Peak Hand Speed: 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.

BAT SPEED (AVERAGE)

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 (PEAK & AVERAGE)

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.
