South Texas Senior Games: Positional Data Dive


PBR Texas Staff

On August 9th, the PBR Texas team hosted the South Texas Senior Games at Blinn Junior College, featuring uncommitted 2024's from around the state. The day started off by the players running a 60, then throwing from their defensive positions, followed by each player taking a round of batting practice. It was capped off by splitting into teams and scrimmaging. Today, we take a closer look at the metrics put up by the position players on the day

BLAST MOTION

HAND SPEED (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Hand Speed (avg)
1 Bryan Chabaud TX Waller 2024 C 23.3 mph
2 Caleb Medlock TX Houston Christian 2024 OF 23.0 mph
3 Caleb Clower TX Waller 2024 SS 22.8 mph
4 Diego Flores TX Claudia Taylor Johnson 2024 OF 22.7 mph
5 Errick Lewis Jr. TX Cypress Ranch 2024 OF 22.7 mph

Hand Speed: The observed 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 (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Bat Speed (avg)
1 Gavin Hickey TX Jesuit Dallas 2024 C 82.7 mph
2 Julio Cuotto TX Foster 2024 3B 74.7 mph
3 Stephen Szygenda TX Anderson 2024 C 73.1 mph
4 Caleb Medlock TX Houston Christian 2024 OF 72.5 mph
5 Bryan Chabaud TX Waller 2024 C 72.1 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 (AVG.)

Rank Name State School Class Pos Rot. Acc (avg)
1 Caleb Medlock TX Houston Christian 2024 OF 27.5 g
2 Bryan Chabaud TX Waller 2024 C 27.2 g
3 Bo Munin TX Anderson 2024 OF 25.6 g
4 Stephen Szygenda TX Anderson 2024 C 23.1 g
5 Ricardo Seda TX Lago Vista 2024 SS 22.6 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.
