Josh Schoenberg
Scouting and Operations Assistant

On Sunday, September 24th, PBR Washington team hosted the Seattle Senior Games. The latest trip on our Fall Tour featuring prospects from the 2024 class, many of whom are uncommitted. 

Previously, we published our Quick Hits and Statistical Analysis from the event. Now, we will take a further in-depth look at the top positional players with the help of our tech partnerships, broken down by the categories down below:

RSI or ‘Reactive Strength Index’ is a simple division of the calculated Jump height by the previous contact time for that jump. This measure has no units, hence we call it an index. The higher the index, the better the jump.

9 Elliot Oster WA Liberty 2024 OF 71.6 mph
10 Wes Lynch WA O'Dea 2024 OF 71.3 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.)

9 Wes Lynch WA O'Dea 2024 OF 17.7 g
10 Henry Douglas WA Tri-Cities Prep 2024 OF 17.6 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.
