PBR Idaho State Games: Blast Motion Leaderboard
June 5, 2022
With the inaugural PBR Idaho State Games in the books, we now turn our focus to the post event coverage where we will be breaking down the events standout performances, positional statistical leaderboards and pitcher leaderboards as well as sending out invitations to represent Idaho at both the 2022 PBR Future Games (2024/2025) and the 2022 PBR West Coast Games (2023). The PBR Idaho State Games gave us our first glimpse of the talent in the Gem State with prospects showing present and projectable actions that prove that Idaho baseball is in good hands for years to come. Our goal from this event and upcoming PBR IDAHO EVENTS is out close the gap on recruitment throughout the state with the highest quality event right in your backyard.
At the PBR Idaho State Games, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: 60 Times measured by Swift Syncro, Batting Practice measured by TrackMan, Catch Pop Time and Velocity, Outfield Evaluation and Velocity, Infield Evaluation and Velocity and Pitcher Bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.
We continue our deep dive into the metrics collected at the inaugural PBR Idaho State Games with the Blast Motion Leaderboard.

About Blast Motion:
One of the important tools Prep Baseball Report has implemented at its events is the use of Blast Motion sensors. During batting practice, the Blast Motion sensors measure Swing and Impact Metrics across several categories. Swing metrics measure pre-impact mechanics centered around plane, connection, and rotation while Impact metrics measure pre-impact performance outcomes based on ball contact.
HERE ARE THE TOP METRICS OF THE EVENT:
Top Peak Bat Speed: 81.1 mph | Chris Ricard - Lewiston, 2023 (Uncommitted)
Top Average Bat Speed: 78.1 mph | Chris Ricard - Lewiston, 2023 (Uncommitted)
Top Peak Hand Speed: 24.6 mph | Nolan Hardesty - Twin Falls, 2023 (Uncommitted)
Top Average Hand Speed: 23.3 mph | Lucas Smith - Post Falls, 2023 (Uncommitted)
On-Plane Efficiency: 87% | Cooper Smith - Lake City, 2024 (Uncommitted)
Rotational Acceleration: 26.7 g | TJ Collins - Capital, 2023 (Uncommitted)
Below will you find the swing & impact metrics from the event in four different categories (Top-10 listed):

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

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%
| Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | On Plane Eff (avg) |
| 1 | Cooper Smith | ID | Lake City | 2024 | C | 87 % |
| 2 | Aaron Archibald | ID | Rigby | 2023 | OF | 86 % |
| 3 | Greyson Martin | ID | Bonneville | 2025 | SS | 85 % |
| 4 | Treyton Swygart | ID | Middleton | 2024 | RHP | 81 % |
| 5 | Joseph Wyatt Solosabal | ID | Twin Falls | 2024 | SS | 81 % |

| 7 | Bronson Brookins | ID | Burley | 2023 | C | 80 % |
| 8 | Dawson McInelly | ID | Sugar Salem | 2025 | OF | 78 % |
| 9 | Ryder Scheibe | ID | Emmett | 2025 | RHP | 76 % |
| 10 | Langan Naylor | ID | Post Falls | 2023 | SS | 76 % |

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
MLB Avg: 16.8 g MiLB Avg: 12.6 g College Avg: 12.9 g
| Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
| 1 | TJ Collins | ID | Capital | 2023 | OF | 26.7 g |
