Fall Uncommitted Senior Invite (South): Blast Motion Board
October 4, 2022
The Fall Uncommitted Senior Invite (South) was held on September 25th at Chuck Bafaro Stadium on the campus of Pacific University. This event was an invite only event that consisted of prospects from the 2023 class. These players went through extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion, participated in defensive evaluations, ran the 60 yard-dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics off of our Trackman unit, such as pitch velocity, spin rate, horizontal & vertical movement & much more. There were some players who showed up and continued to build off of prior performances, but there were also some new names who jumped onto our radar with a strong showing on Sunday.
Continuing off our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the leaders from Blast Motion recorded from the showcase. Please continue to check back over the next week, as we will release individual scouting reports on each player present at the event.

Peak Hand Speed: The observed maximum 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 (AVERAGE)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Bat Speed (avg) |
1 | Nick Biagi | OR | Marist Catholic | 2023 | 1B | 79.8 mph |
2 | Colton Schmokel | OR | Lincoln | 2023 | 1B | 78.0 mph |
3 | Kaden Isola | OR | Bend Senior | 2023 | 1B | 77.8 mph |
4 | Ian Williams | WA | River Ridge | 2023 | 1B | 76.8 mph |
5 | Yacel Limonta | WA | Bethel | 2023 | 3B | 74.2 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 (PEAK & AVERAGE)
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (max) |
1 | Andrew Probst | OR | Glencoe | 2023 | C | 29.0 g |
2 | Cooper Rathbun | OR | Ashland | 2023 | RHP | 28.2 g |
3 | Kaden MacDonald | WA | Columbia River | 2023 | OF | 27.3 g |
4 | Owen Shaw | WA | Mt. Spokane | 2023 | OF | 26.5 g |
5 | Owen Tilden | OR | Canby | 2023 | C | 26.2 g |
Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
1 | Cooper Rathbun | OR | Ashland | 2023 | RHP | 24.3 g |
2 | Owen Shaw | WA | Mt. Spokane | 2023 | OF | 22.1 g |
3 | Kaden MacDonald | WA | Columbia River | 2023 | OF | 20.9 g |
4 | Andrew Probst | OR | Glencoe | 2023 | C | 19.6 g |
5 | Owen Tilden | OR | Canby | 2023 | C | 18.6 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.
