South Alabama Games & Mobile Rising Stars ID: Blast Motion Board
July 22, 2023
DAPHNE, AL - The South Alabama Games & Mobile Rising Stars ID were held on Tuesday, July 18th at Bayside Academy Sports Complex in Daphne, AL. These events consisted of some of the top prospects from the 2024-2028 classes. These players went through a pro-style workout and took batting practice using Trackman and Blast Motion to record hitting metrics. Pitchers in the South Alabama Games were able to throw in simulated outings facing hitters during gameplay and 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 Tuesday.
Continuing off our post-event coverage for these events, we take a look back at some of the leaders from Blast Motion recorded from both events. Please continue to check back over the next week, as we will release individual scouting reports on each player present at both events.

| 1 | Tinnin Potts | MS | CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | 3B | 72.6 mph |

| 5 | Christian Farni | AL | MOBILE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL | 2026 | OF | 68.4 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 | Jaden Nelson | AL | UMS-Wright | 2024 | SS | 30.1 g |
| 2 | Will Omeara | AL | Fairhope | 2025 | SS | 28.8 g |

| 1 | Brayden Tindle | AL | Baldwin County High School | 2028 | 3B | 24.0 g |
| 2 | Tinnin Potts | MS | CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL | 2025 | 3B | 21.7 g |

| 5 | Sawyer Smith | AL | Fairhope | 2025 | 2B | 18.5 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.
