On Monday, December 2nd, Prep Baseball Oregon hosted the Holiday Hitters Portland event at D-Bat Hitting Facility in Tigard, Oregon. The first of its kind hitting-only event featured prospects in the 2025-2028 graduating classes. 

Prep Baseball events serve as an identifier of top baseball talent in the area. Athletes in attendance can obtain video from the event to send to college recruiters, and have statisitcal data recorded by Prep Baseball's state of the art technology partners. Top performances can also lend invites to some of 2025's top events, such as Preseason All-State, PNW State Games, and more. Finally, Prep Baseball events help scouts form watch lists and rankings lists, such as Prep Baseball's recent release of the 2026 Oregon State Player Rankings.

Earlier, we released our Quick Hits, offering scouting notes on top performers. Today, we release our Positional Data Dive, showcasing leaders in various metrics from the hitters-only event.

TRACKMAN

EXIT VELOCITY (MAX)

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)

Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of contact.

BATTED BALL DISTANCE (MAX)

SWEET SPOT%

Sweet Spot percentage: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.

BLAST MOTION

PEAK HAND SPEED (AVG.)

Hand Speed: The observed 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.

PEAK BAT SPEED (AVG.)

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 (AVG.)

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.
