Prep Baseball Report and Blast Motion, the leader in swing analysis, player development and improvement, announced a partnership last month that makes Blast the Official Swing Analysis Technology of Prep Baseball Report.

At last weekend's Preseason All-State showcase, over 80 hitters in the 2020-20223 classes were analyzed using the Blast sensor. Below is a look at the top bat speed and rotational acceleration scores from the event according to Blast.

Bat speed is the total speed of the barrel at impact (MLB AVG = 70.3 MPH), while rotational acceleration measures how quickly the bat accelerates into the swing plane (MLB AVG = 16.8 G).
