In recent years, Blast Motion has been highlighting player standouts from the Super 60 event using their Power, Contact, and Swing Consistency profiles. Last year, we shared the four core metrics Blast relies on most for player evaluation and ranked top performers.

This year we are going to emphasize Blast Motion’s Power Profile, that groups Bat Speed and Rotational Acceleration, as well as On-Plane Efficiency as a stand-alone metric.

Power profiles are important to help identify a hitter’s dynamic power and raw strength. We generally tend to see dynamic power play at the highest levels better than just raw strength. Dynamic power, as Blast defines it, is someone who has Bat Speed at or above their level of play and at least 14g of Rotational Acceleration. This demonstrates the hitter’s ability to build their Bat Speed quickly to hit more elite pitching, while still having the bat speed to do damage to all fields.

Important Note: We generally tend to see guys struggle by the time they get to High-A or Double-A if they don’t have at least an average of 14g in Rotational Acceleration. This isn’t the case for every player, but from what we’ve realized, it’s the case for most. In lower levels and younger leagues like high school, college, or Low-A, you don’t necessarily need to have high Rotational Acceleration to be the best player. High Bat Speed is enough of a tool (in terms of power) to succeed at those levels. 

On-Plane Efficiency is important to evaluate a smooth swing path. At Blast we look for On-Plane Efficiency to be at or above 70%. This means the hitter’s barrel is on the swing plane, moving towards contact, for the majority of their swing. At Blast, we generally see hitters with strong On-Plane Efficiency have higher average exit velocities, as they can make consistent hard contact with their repeatable swing.

Important Note: Hitters with lower On-Plane Efficiency tend to manipulate the bat more throughout the swing as they have more degrees of freedom in the wrist. We have seen lower On-Plane Efficiency play in college or even up to High-A, but generally tend to struggle with consistent hard contact against elite pitching. This is generally caused by how much the hitter has to adjust the barrel throughout the swing, making speed and spin harder to barrel up consistently.

Prep Baseball state directors and scouts have continuously done an outstanding job following the development of these players, as the Super 60 displayed some of the best high-school talent in the country, and the Blast data captured reflects that. Based on Blast Motion data from the event, we ranked the top-10 players in the Power Profile and the top-10 players in On-Plane Efficiency. You can find our leaderboards in the tables a little further down this piece.

There were three players from the event that made both leaderboards in SS Terrance Bowen (Blessed Trinity HS, GA; Oklahoma State commit), OF Jacob Parker (Purvis HS, MS; Mississippi State), and OF Cannon Goldin (Buford HS, GA; Ole Miss).

Lastly, we have six honorable mentions who displayed strong Blast data in at least one of the ranked categories; these players include: OF Brandon Logan (Fort Wayne HS, IN; Notre Dame), OF Everett Johnson (ECA Academy, NC; NC State), OF Danny Wallace (Papillion La Vista South HS, NE; Oklahoma State), SS JD Stein (Carmel HS, IN; Wake Forest), C Jeter Worthley (Lincoln East HS, NE; Nebraska), and 1B Conor Essenburg (Lincoln-Way West HS, IL; Kentucky).

Over the years, Prep Baseball’s Super 60 has seen 40-plus participants eventually go on to make their MLB debuts, and Blast Motion technology has been present at the past five Super 60 showcases.

And now, without further ado, here are the Blast leaders from the 2025 Super 60 Pro Showcase.

TOP-10 POWER PROFILES

Rank	Name	Pos.	School (ST)	Bat Speed (mph)	Rotational Accel. (g)
1	Taitn Gray	C/OF	Dallas Center-Grimes (IA)	83.2	18.3
2	Josh Gibbs	SS	Fortsyth Central (GA)	79.8	21.8
3	Terrance Bowen	SS	Blessed Trinity (GA)	79.2	16.9
4	Braxton Van Cleave	OF	Mansfield (TX)	78.8	19.9
5	Zahir Barjam	SS	P27 Academy (SC)	78.5	24.5
6	Matt McKnight	SS	Charlotte Catholic (NC)	76.8	17.2
7	Enzo Infelise	C	Providence Catholic (IL)	76.5	16.2
8	Jacob Parker	OF	Purvis (MS)	76.1	14.2
9	Everett Johnson	OF	ECA (NC)	75.2	17.6
10	Cannon Goldin	OF	Buford (GA)	72.9	21.3

Here’s some additional context regarding these metrics:

• Bat Speed measures the speed of the bat at impact. We often evaluate Bat Speed as a projection of a hitter’s raw power.
• MLB average: 72 mph
• College (DI) average: 65 mph
• Rotational Acceleration measures how quickly the bat accelerates into the player’s peak Bat Speed. Higher Rotational Acceleration values give the hitter more time to make a swing decision because they accelerate the bat more quickly.
• MLB average: 17.2g
• College (DI) average: 13.3g

TOP-10 ON-PLANE EFFICIENCY SCORES

Rank	Name	Pos.	School (ST)	On-Plane%
1	Aidan West	SS	Long Reach (MD)	89
2	Davian Carrera	1B	Boone Grove (IN)	86
3	Jacob Parker	OF	Purvis (MS)	83
4	Cash Williams	C	Choctaw (OK)	82
5	Kade Elam	SS	Corbin (KY)	81
6	Cannon Goldin	OF	Buford (GA)	80
7	Matthew Ferrera	SS	Toms River East (NJ)	77
8	Stow Rogers	C	James Island (SC)	77
9	Jack Ruckert	SS	Catholic B.R. (LA)	77
10	Terrance Bowen	SS	Blessed Trinity (GA)	76

• On-Plane Efficiency measures the percentage of the swing where the barrel is on the swing plane. The target for a hitter is 70 percent or above. On-Plane Efficiency is part of Blast’s Contact Profile, which also includes Attack Angle.
• Goal (at all levels): 70% or higher
