Tennessee Fall ID: Blast Motion Board


PBR Tennessee Staff

MURFREESBORO, TN - The Tennessee Fall ID was held on Saturday, September 9th at Riverdale High School in Murfreesboro, TN. This event was an open event that consisted of players from the 2024-2027 classes from Volunteer state. Players went through an extended pro-style workout that included batting practice using Trackman, ran the 60-yard dash using Swift Performance, and much more. Pitchers were able to get numbers and metrics on TrackMan. 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 at the event.

Continuing our post-event coverage for this event, we take a look back at some of the top performers and standouts from the event. Continuing over the course of the next week or so, we will release different statistical leaderboards for the event along with other pieces of content.

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Eli Wells TN Centennial High School 2025 SS 71.6 mph
2 Chase Young TN Watertown 2025 C 71.3 mph

ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION (PEAK & AVERAGE)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (max)
1 Chase Young TN Watertown 2025 C 28.4 g
2 Jayden Nieves TN Sycamore 2025 C 22.0 g
3 Connor Gelfand TN BRENTWOOD ACADEMY 2025 C 21.0 g
4 Thomas Carroll TN Culleoka 2024 C 18.6 g

3 Jaylon Allen GA Chapel Hill 2026 SS 15.7 g
4 Connor Gelfand TN BRENTWOOD ACADEMY 2025 C 15.4 g
5 Thomas Carroll TN Culleoka 2024 C 14.1 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.
