ABOUT BLAST MOTION:

One of the important tools Prep Baseball Report is starting to implement at its events is the use of Blast Motion sensors. During batting practice, the Blast Motion sensors measure Swing and Impact Metrics across several categories. Swing metrics measure pre-impact mechanics centered around plane, connection, and rotation while Impact metrics measure pre-impact performance outcomes based on ball contact.

At the 2020 PBR Future Games, all hitters were hooked up to blast sensors for there on the field BP rounds during their individual showcases workouts. We were able to collect valuable swing & impact metrics on many of the top uncommitted players in the country. We will be able to share this data with coaches & scouts from around the country as well as help players identify areas of development.

Here are the top metrics of day for Arizona players:

Top AVG Bat Speed: 79.3mph (2022 1B Mitch Namie)

Top PEAK Hand Speed: 24.8mph (2022 RHP Sean Farney)

On-Plane Effieciency: 77% (2023 SS Ryan Kucherak)

Rotational Acceleration: 23.4g (2022 RHP Lucas Cardy)

Power: 5.63kW (2022 1B Mitch Namie)

Below will you find the rest of the swing & impact metrics from #TEAMARIZONA in five different categories measured using the Blast Motion sensors:
