Bat Speed:
This is the metric that most correlates to exit velo (the result) and Jacob comes in with a advanced peak of 77.5 mph and averages 73.5 putting him in the college - pro range giving him a strong case for power potential at the next level. The results were there during his live arm BP round where he had a impressive average exit velo of 91 MPH and peaked at 94 MPH with a 71% line drive rate.
Rotational acceleration:
This shows us how quickly Jacob can accelerate into his top end bat speed. Jacob peaked at 19 G's while averaging 17 G's putting him at the MLB average of 17 G's which will help him against high spin fastballs and late breaking off speed pitches at the next level.
In a Nutshell:
“Walker’s Blast data really shows how easy it is for him to manufacture power that surpasses what his frame currently looks like. He’s going to be a fun one to follow as he starts to add functional strength.”
