PBR ProCase - Midwest: Blast Motion Board
July 19, 2021
Today, with the help of our Blast Motion sensors, we're analyzing the swing metrics measured from the PBR ProCase - Midwest.
Hand Speed (Peak & Average)
| Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hand Speed (max) |
| 1 | Carson Hansen | WI | Pewaukee | 2022 | OF | 29.1 mph |
| 2 | Alex Stanwich | IL | Lincoln-Way East | 2022 | OF | 28.0 mph |
| 3 | Owen Murphy | IL | Riverside-Brookfield | 2022 | 3B | 27.2 mph |
| 4 | Luke Adams | IL | Hinsdale Central | 2022 | 3B | 27.0 mph |
| 5 | Victor Izquierdo | IL | Lockport | 2022 | 1B | 25.8 mph |
| ^ | Estevan Moreno | IL | Montini Catholic | 2022 | SS | 25.8 mph |
| Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Hand Speed (avg) |
| 1 | Carson Hansen | WI | Pewaukee | 2022 | OF | 27.4 mph |
| 2 | Alex Stanwich | IL | Lincoln-Way East | 2022 | OF | 26.3 mph |
| 3 | Luke Adams | IL | Hinsdale Central | 2022 | 3B | 25.6 mph |
| 4 | Estevan Moreno | IL | Montini Catholic | 2022 | SS | 24.3 mph |
| 5 | Owen Murphy | IL | Riverside-Brookfield | 2022 | 3B | 23.7 mph |
| 6 | Jack Scheri | IL | LaSalle Peru | 2022 | SS | 23.6 mph |
| 7 | Brady Small | IL | Lemont | 2022 | OF | 23.2 mph |
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 | Luke Adams | IL | Hinsdale Central | 2022 | 3B | 77.6 mph |
| 2 | Alex Stanwich | IL | Lincoln-Way East | 2022 | OF | 75.6 mph |
| 3 | Estevan Moreno | IL | Montini Catholic | 2022 | SS | 75.1 mph |
| 4 | Victor Izquierdo | IL | Lockport | 2022 | 1B | 74.4 mph |
| 5 | Brady Small | IL | Lemont | 2022 | OF | 73.4 mph |
| 6 | Carson Hansen | WI | Pewaukee | 2022 | OF | 71.5 mph |
| 7 | Ryan Bakes | IL | Huntley | 2023 | C | 71.2 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 | Carson Hansen | WI | Pewaukee | 2022 | OF | 38.5 g |
| 2 | Gable Mitchell | IA | Iowa City High | 2022 | SS | 29.2 g |
| 3 | Estevan Moreno | IL | Montini Catholic | 2022 | SS | 27.4 g |
| 4 | Alex Stanwich | IL | Lincoln-Way East | 2022 | OF | 25.5 g |
| Rank | Name | State | School | Class | Pos | Rot. Acc (avg) |
| 1 | Carson Hansen | WI | Pewaukee | 2022 | OF | 33.4 g |
| 2 | Gable Mitchell | IA | Iowa City High | 2022 | SS | 22.6 g |
| 3 | Ryan Bakes | IL | Huntley | 2023 | C | 20.8 g |
| 4 | Alex Stanwich | IL | Lincoln-Way East | 2022 | OF | 20.7 g |
| 5 | Estevan Moreno | IL | Montini Catholic | 2022 | SS | 20.3 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.
