Top Prospect Games - Blast Motion Leaderboard
About Blast Motion
Blast Baseball is the No. 1 swing analyzer used by nearly all major league teams, including the last three World Series winners. Blast is used by the majority of the Power 5 Conferences, hundreds of collegiate programs, and thousands of high schools, elite travel teams, hitting facilities and youth customers for coaching, training and recruiting. Blast technology is designed to help coaches evaluate and improve a player’s swing through automatic swing quality assessments (plane, connection, rotation), video analysis and comparisons, 3D swing tracer visualizations, and personalized performance reports.
What PBR Participants Can Expect from Blast Motion
Players who attend PBR Showcases with the Blast Motion technology integrated into the event will be able to see all of their hitting metrics collected using the Blast Motion bat sensor. They will also have these metrics housed inside their Blast Motion player account and PBR Player Profile. Players will have access to tips/drills to help them improve their metrics as well as metric definitions and information to help them better understand the information.
Top Prospect Games - Blast Motion Metric Averages
PLANE SCORE
About Plane Score - Measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane. Your vertical bat angle at contact establishes the plane for that swing. Plane is a great indicator for making more consistent contact on the barrel of the bat.
CONNECTION SCORE
About Connection Score - Measures the relationship between your body tilt and vertical bat angle at impact. Maintaining good connection (90 degrees) for all pitch locations is an indicator of dynamic adjustability.
ROTATION SCORE
About Rotation Score - Measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotation is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to adjust to pitch locations.
AVG. BAT SPEED
About Bat Speed - Bat Speed is 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
About Rotational Acceleration - Rotation measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane. Rotation is a good indicator of how you build bat speed by sequencing properly vs. pulling the bat with your hands. The quicker your rotational acceleration, the more power you will have and the more time you have to make a decision at the plate.
PEAK HAND SPEED
About Peak Hand Speed - Peak Hand Speed is 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.
POWER
About Power - The average Power generated during the swing is found from the effective mass of the bat, the Bat Speed at impact, and the average acceleration during the downswing. Power is measured in Watts. Higher Power is achieved when a hitter is able to swing a heavier bat and accelerate it to higher speeds.
