Friday, we took a closer look at some of the immediate standouts who caught our attention with our Quick Hits and our Statistical Analysis, where we broke down the stat leaders from the more traditional categories. Today, we will take a further in-depth look at the top positional players with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10 and 30 yards, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

EXIT VELOCITY (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Exit Velocity (avg)
1 Ryan Belawski WI Oconomowoc 2024 SS 85.9 mph
2 Owen Davis WI Verona 2024 1B 84.7 mph
3 Brady Coons WI Kimberly 2024 C 84.4 mph
4 Taylor Lemanski WI Mosinee 2024 OF 82.9 mph
5 Ryan Apel WI Homestead 2025 3B 82.1 mph

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)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Distance (max)
1 PJ Hamel WI Arrowhead 2025 C 347 ft
2 Chase Geyer WI Stevens Point Area 2024 OF 334 ft

SWEET SPOT%

Rank Name State School Class Pos Sweet Spot %
1 Ryan Belawski WI Oconomowoc 2024 SS 90 %
2 Brady Coons WI Kimberly 2024 C 81 %
3 Tyler Chopp WI Lakeside Lutheran 2024 OF 80 %
4 Levi Watts WI Appleton North 2025 OF 72 %
5 PJ Hamel WI Arrowhead 2025 C 70 %
^ Avery Mosloski WI Oshkosh West 2026 3B 70 %

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

HAND SPEED (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Hand Speed (avg)
1 Ryan Apel WI Homestead 2025 3B 23.6 mph
2 Ryan Belawski WI Oconomowoc 2024 SS 22.3 mph
3 Lucas Frank WI Germantown High 2025 RHP 22.0 mph
4 Ty Marcks WI Shiocton 2024 1B 21.8 mph
5 Jacob Riddick WI Ripon 2024 RHP 21.6 mph
6 Zach Le Mieux WI Notre Dame Academy 2024 LHP 21.6 mph
7 Eli Edwardson WI Holmen 2024 SS 21.4 mph
8 Avery Mosloski WI Oshkosh West 2026 3B 21.1 mph
9 Boston Damon WI Beaver Dam 2024 SS 20.7 mph
10 PJ Hamel WI Arrowhead 2025 C 20.6 mph

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.

BAT SPEED (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Owen Davis WI Verona 2024 1B 73.5 mph
2 Zach Le Mieux WI Notre Dame Academy 2024 LHP 70.7 mph
3 Chase Geyer WI Stevens Point Area 2024 OF 70.3 mph
4 Taylor Lemanski WI Mosinee 2024 OF 70.1 mph
5 PJ Hamel WI Arrowhead 2025 C 68.7 mph

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.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (avg)
1 Ryan Belawski WI Oconomowoc 2024 SS 18.9 g
2 Zach Le Mieux WI Notre Dame Academy 2024 LHP 17.9 g
3 Ryan Apel WI Homestead 2025 3B 16.8 g
4 Ty Marcks WI Shiocton 2024 1B 16.0 g
5 Ben Johnston WI Kimberly 2025 OF 16.0 g

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.

 


 

VIZUAL EDGE

EDGE SCORE

Rank Name State School Class Pos Edge Score
1 Levi Watts WI Appleton North 2025 OF 88.38
2 Ryan Belawski WI Oconomowoc 2024 SS 80.52
3 Boston Damon WI Beaver Dam 2024 SS 78.98
4 Ty Marcks WI Shiocton 2024 1B 78.09
5 Sam Ernst WI Fond du Lac 2024 SS 75.06

The Edge Score is a comprehensive score out of 100 that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing athletes, parents, coaches and scouts with a benchmark number for assessing an athlete’s overall visual ability. In general the higher the Edge Score, the higher chance of athletic success. Think of the Edge Score as the 'Sixth Metric' in the standard Five-Tools that make up a ball player.

The average Edge Score for the 2020 MLB Draft Class was 79.3 (of hitters who completed a Vizual Edge test). MLB players we've worked with typically show stronger scores, with elite hitters scoring consistently above 87.0 on their Edge Score.
