hitting Analysis

As you can see from the red bars above, Perry put together an impressive round of batting practice at the Mohawk Valley event. A consistent, loud round with his exit velocity, average & max, along with distance ranking near the top nationally for high school players. The sweet spot % and line drive % are a good indicator for his feel for the barrel and ability to consistently square up the baseball. The projectable 6-foot-2, 165 lb sweet swinging lefty has continued to swing it consistently through the high school season putting up some impressive numbers: .587 AVG , 27 H, 6 2B, 5 3B, 3 HR. Will be an exciting follow through the summer.     

Exit Velocity-  this one's pretty simple but this metric measures the speed of the ball off the bat, measured in miles per hour (MPH).

Distance- another simple one, this metric measures how far the ball traveled or would travel if it was not obstructed, measured in feet.

Launch Angle- measures the vertical angle of the ball as it leaves the bat. Positive numbers represent balls traveling upward off of the bat and negative numbers mean the ball is traveling downward off of the bat. 

Fly Ball %-  Percentage of fly balls hit during a given set of batted ball events. Trackman defines a fly ball as any batted ball with a launch angle between 25 degrees and 49.9 degrees

Line Drive%-  Percentage of line drives hit during a given set of batted ball events. Trackman defines a line drive as any batted ball with a launch angle between 10 degrees and 24.9 degrees.

Ground Ball %- Percentage of ground balls hit during a given set of batted ball events. Trackman defines a ground ball as any batted ball with a launch angle below 9.9 degrees. 

Hard Hit%-  Percentage of batted balls with an exit velocity of 90 MPH or higher.
