Top Prospect Upperclass Games: Hitting Leaderboards
June 15, 2023
On June 6th we hosted the Top Prospect Upperclass Games at UCO featuring 50 players from the 2024 and 2025 classes from all across the state. We had a traditional showcase portion featuring laser timed 60's, BP with data captured by Trackman and Blast Motion, defensive evaluations with radar gun readings, and topped it off with a simulated game with pitcher's throwing to live hitters and Trackman data being captured. Today we take a look at some of the stat leaders from the event with eyes on the hitting data leaders captured by Trackman and Blast Motion. We jump into the top exit velocities, distances, hand speeds, bat speeds, rotational acceleration metrics, and on plane percentages.
