Top Prospect Games: Blast Analysis
June 28, 2021
Today PBR Utah dives into a little preview and history lesson, of what the 3 main components Blast Motion captures, to give indicators of what goes into a proper swing pattern. We will follow up in part two of this piece, with other important metrics and leaderboards for the players that attended the Invite only Utah Preseason All-State event that was held March 6, 2021.
Below is a look of the 3 components and listed below each category, is the brief description of that category.
PLANE
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
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
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.
