The PBR Nevada ProCase assembled the top prospects throughout the Silver State to partake in a Pro-Style Workout, followed by a Simulated Game in a Hitter vs. Pitcher format, where the players received an in-depth analysis from the Blast Motion and TrackMan systems, providing an unrivaled amount of data on each rep taken during the event. Prior to the event beginning, each player took a Vizual Edge assessment, provide MLB Scouts with the Edge Score, a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete's overall visual ability. 

Along with the tech, players also received updated metrics during the Pro-Style Workout portion of the event beginning with the Laser Time 60 Yard Dash, Batting Practice, Catcher Evaluations including Pop Times, Velocity, Receiving and Blocking, Outfield Evaluations and Infield Evaluations.

Today, we take a look at the Blast Motion Leaderboard that highlights the Top In-Swing Metrics collected from the PBR Nevada ProCase.

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: 77.20 mph | Justin Crawford - Bishop Gorman | LSU

Top PEAK Hand Speed: 25.00 mph | Grayson Grinsell - Reno | Oregon

On-Plane Efficiency: 86% | Logan Pruski - Bishop Manogue | Nevada

Rotational Acceleration: 20.81 g | Ty Silva - Shadow Ridge | Washington

 Below will you find the swing & impact metrics from the event in four different categories (Top 5 listed):

______________________________________________________________

Peak BAT SPEED:

Bat Speed is the observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. For more info: Blast Bat Speed 

MLB Avg: 66-78 mph   MiLB: 63-75 mph   College: 66-75 mph

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

MLB Avg: 23-29 mph MiLB Avg: 22-28 mph College Avg: 21-24 mph

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%

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
